Ethiopian investigators say a flawed flight control system, triggered by faulty sensor data, is at least partly to blame for last year's crash of a 737 Max airplane operated by Ethiopian Airlines.
The crashes eventually led to Boeing halting production of the planes causing ripple effects through the aerospace giant's supply chain.
The report adds that the pilots appeared to have recognized the problem and powered off the MCAS system. They then attempted to manually regain control and trim of the aircraft in order to bring the nose back up.
