The United States in turn ordered the grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 and MAX 9 on Wednesday, March 13, as did Europe and many
other countries, after the accident Sunday of a 737 MAX 8 of the company Ethiopian Airlines which made 157 dead. The United States agrees with the general opinion. A decision with immediate effect.
The announcement was first made by US President Donald Trump. “ We will urgently ban all flights of the 737 MAX 8 and 737 MAX 9, “ Donald Trump told reporters at the White House, adding that the US Federal Aviation Authority (FAA)
regulation of the air sector, would express itself on the record during the day. “ The safety of Americans, and all passengers, is our top priority, “ he said.
When Donald Trump announced the ban several 737 Max were still in the American sky. All were grounded as soon as they landed, reports San Francisco correspondent Eric de Salve . It must be said that the United States was increasingly isolated.
Since the crash of Sunday, almost all global aeronautical agencies have progressively banned theft of this device. Until Tuesday, despite numerous calls for policies, experts, unions, the FAA, the US Federal Aviation Agency resisted, ensuring that nothing justified a ban. But today is the turnaround, due, according to the FAA “ new data „. Information that would tend to confirm the same failure of the stabilization system in both crash, five months apart, that of Ethiopian and Lion Air.
The FAA has therefore finally announced on Wednesday that “ the grounding will remain in effect during the investigation, which will include the examination of information from black boxes and cockpit recordings .“
For its part, Boeing whose action has yet unscrewed on the stock exchange continues to deny any danger. Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg stepped in to renew his “ total confidence in the safety of the 737 MAX „, even ensuring that the ban was issued at the initiative of Boeing and only to reassure the public.
