It already looked bad for the FAA that they dragged their feet to ground the plane. That a criminal investigation was launched a full day before they finally grounded the Max raises even more questions. You have the whole world grounding the plane, two highly unusual, strikingly similar tragedies within a short span of time, and a federal investigation into the plane's development, and it still takes a whole day to ground the plane?
- cmurf 8y agoI agree with the questions. It's a what's going on here? And that may be the main goal of the prosecutor for all we know at this point. Grand juries are a bit archaic, it does allow the prosecutor to basically suggest "hey I'm not the only one who thinks this is fishy, I've convinced a grand jury it's fishy" - however there are no defense lawyers allowed to make contra arguments before grand juries so it's not an adversarial system. Yet.

- dirkg 8y agoIIRC FAA didnt ground the plane. Trump issued an order and FAA were forced to do it.
