I observe that people expressing worry have never examined the three events or the flight data records graphed in the reports. More, they ignored that the government that owned, operated, and trained the pilots, and continued to fly knowing there was a software defect also killed at least 1000X more of their own civilian population while people fixated on the misreporting about a brave crew who did every step exactly as specified - the data shows they avoided every possible step in the procedures and did the opposite nearly every time.

Honestly, there is far more money to be made going after an American corporation than can be gained going after those responsible for the clearly botched operation of an aircraft, never mind the 300,000 to 600,000 who died in a genocide. That is what makes the MCAS story a source of such great fiction.

But, hey, they had a shiny new airplane and used the crash to provide a lot of cover for their military buildup in readiness for the war, a plan that was in place before the crash.

Somewhere between 3X to 8X died of starvation every day for nearly 2 years as died on that flight. Imagine for 2 years 3 airplanes crashing every day. That's more than 2,100 crashes worth of death. Not one peep on the news of so many people wasting to death.

Boeing predicted that a crew would handle any MCAS malfunction - Crew #1 did and wrote up the symptoms for maintainers to look at. Crew #2 Captain managed with the same plane and symptoms as Crew #1 had until the newer guy got the controls. Crew #3 made every effort to do the opposite of every relevant procedure even after reading an Emergency AD, the flight manual update, and the preliminary report for the first and second events before their participation in the third. For some reason Boeing and the FAA did not anticipate a 100% reversal of procedure elements.
