Those who were defending Boeing and placing the fault on pilots because they were from third world countries. Absolutely wrong as usual.

Boeing hid design flaws in its 737 Max jet from both pilots and regulators as it raced to have the aeroplane certified as fit to fly, according to a damning congressional report into why two of the aircraft crashed within months of each other last year, killing 346 people.
In doing so, Boeing concealed from regulators internal test data showing that if a pilot took longer than 10 seconds to recognise that the system had kicked in erroneously, the consequences would be “catastrophic”.
"So these pilots didn't realise that a system they didn't know was on the aircraft, was making changes that it shouldn't have been making, within 10 seconds, the plane was effectively lost.
The fact Bowing knew this and still sold them and then tried to suggest, after the event, that it was due to the pilots and intimating that it was some tin-pot "foreign" airline so probably not maintained properly etc etc. "
Outrageous, I suppose that happens when cutting red tape is your ideology.
