Boeing Admits Sensor Malfunction for 737 MAX 8 Crashes

Boeing Admits Sensor Malfunction for 737 MAX 8 CrashesLatest reports that have come in on the two recent Boeing aircraft flight crashes (model 737 MAX 8) have confirmed that software malfunction was the cause for the crash.

In an important announcement, Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg admitted that the anti-stall system on the aircraft was at fault in both crashes.
 	The computer system was getting wrong readings from a sensor set up on the nose of the jet.
 	The malfunction kicked-off an anti-stall feature that forced the plane into a dive which finally caused it to crash.
 	The company has recognized the similarities between the two crashes. It is now working on a change to the system's software.
 	The investigations into both disasters are still ongoing and the final conclusions are not expected for many months.
 	Most countries around the world have grounded Boeing’s 737 MAX fleet.

The situation is grim for the American airlines company and for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) - the US government body that regulates flights.
