    Black box data shows the plane thought it was in a stall and pointed nose down, with repeated pilot corrections to point it back up.

    Boeing says there is a standard procedure for dealing with an incorrect Anti-Stall situation like this.

    Lion Air’s deadly flight was a 13-minute struggle between man and machine

    A chart included in the report shows a series of orange lines that designate the automated system’s efforts, matched by a series of blue ones in the opposite direction, indicating the pilots’ efforts.

    "The directives prompted several of the biggest US pilots’ unions to say this was the first time they were hearing of the new anti-stall system. “Before the crash we were not provided any information on the MCAS or even its existence,” captain Dennis Tajer, spokesman for the Allied Pilots Association, the union for American Airlines pilots, told Quartz."

    That sounds like absolutely terrible handling of this system by Boeing, article also mentions a lot of the system's faults. Bet they'll get their asses sued off on an enormous scale, can't believe they'd introduce a new system in such a way.

    You figured they would have an override switch that would be clearly marked.

    Brings into question electronic espionage, hackers, or even possibly AI.

    **** Boeing. I hope they are hurt bad by this and it takes the American military complex with it.
