The sample size isn't actually 2... It's 2 crashes in tens of thousands of flights of the 737 across the multiple airlines that use the model. However, that having been said, the crash rate is now very poor (by modern standards) for this plane model, and 2 is enough to raise some serious questions about mere coincidence. Boeing's taking a real risk because a third crash of a 737 regardless of cause will be a long-remembered black eye.
