Addendum: If you are interested in the facts of the event, and not the simplistic good-vs-evil narrative, the full Lion Air accident report is available at (warning, large PDF) http://knkt.dephub.go.id/knkt/ntsc_aviation/baru/2018%20-%20035%20-%20PK-LQP%20Final%20Report.pdf http://knkt.dephub.go.id/knkt/ntsc_aviation/baru/2018%20-%20...

The industry culture that makes such reports possible, makes them public, and takes them very seriously is why I would feel safe flying on a 737 MAX tomorrow. Because I have very good, very well supported, evidence that it would be safe to do so. We don't yet have a final report on the Ethiopian Airlines mishap, and the investigation process has been a little more political that what we saw with Indonesia, but the preliminary reports and analyses point to a similar complexity of causes, and will undoubtedly generate a similarly thorough and useful set of recommendations.
