What's the matter with us grounded Boeing
March 14 news: in the face of increasing pressure, the US president announced on March 13 that the US government will order to ground Boeing 737 Max before collecting more information about the air crash of Ethiopian Airlines.
According to CNN on March 13, the decision is totally different from the earlier position of the US government. After Boeing 737 Max was involved in two fatal crashes, dozens of countries around the world called for the suspension of its flight missions. However, the U.S. government insisted that the aircraft could still fly safely.
The president of the United States told reporters: 'we will sign an urgent order to ban all Boeing 737 Max 8 and Max 9 aircraft from flying. '
The U.S. president said the grounded decision was based on the latest information about the air Egypt crash. The FAA said it had collected some new evidence about the crash on March 13 and made the decision based on the newly collected information and the latest satellite data.
According to the report, until the afternoon of the 13th, U.S. government officials insisted that the aircraft was safe, which runs counter to the request of U.S. congressmen and airline unions to suspend flights of 737 max series aircraft before the investigation is completed.
While announcing the government's decision, the president of the United States has not forgotten to praise Boeing. He said: 'Boeing is an incredible company. They are working very hard at the moment. '
The president also explained that the move was not so much mandatory as preventive. He said: 'I don't want to take risks. We didn't have to make this decision today, we could have delayed it. We may not have to do that at all. But I think the decision is important psychologically and in many other ways. '
The president said: 'the security of the American people is our top concern. '
When the president of the United States announced the news, the aircraft carrying the model was ordered to land at its destination and grounded.
The decision to ground the 737 Max 8 and 9 aircraft was based on new information, including information from flight data recorders and voice recorders, acting FAA director Daniel eldwell said on a conference call.
He explained that new data showed that the air crash in Ethiopia was related to the earlier crash of Indonesia's Lion airlines. However, elver declined to speculate on the time of the grounding, but said he wanted to 'shorten the grounding time as much as possible'.
