ET302 Stab jackscrew found , trimmed to dive

The smoking gun implicating MCAS ie. the stabiliser jackscrew has been found.

In the light of physical evidence which is hard to suppress, I think we can now expect some resignations at the FAA, and a hard look at the airplane’s other possible failure modes. I don’t think the 737 Max-8 will get ungrounded as easily as it got certified the first time round.
