737 MAX MCAS issue pale in comparison to 737 classic rudder issues (two crashes confirmed because of the issue, three crashes suspected, and a few more cases where pilots were able to overcome the plane). Yet it happened in the era without social networks and Internet news, so few people remember about it.

- LastTrain 4y agoI’m old and I remember it being all over the news and Johnny Carson making jokes about Boeing “BOING” in his monologue. There was no social network but we were ALL watching the same damn 3 channels.
