The US had originally resisted calls to ground the plane as much of the rest of the world had.
An American Airlines Boeing 737 Max 8, on a flight from Miami to New York City, lands at LaGuardia Airport on Monday morning, March 11, 2019 in the Queens borough of New York City. Boeing's stock dropped more than 12 percent at the open on Monday, a day after a second deadly crash involving the Boeing 737 Max 8, the newest version of its most popular jetliner.
Canada, Europe, and nearly fifty other countries also grounded the jet this week following the Ethiopian Airlines disaster on Sunday. The United States on Wednesday joined Canada, Europe and nearly fifty other countries in banning the Boeing 737 max 8 aircraft from it's airspace following Sunday's Ethiopian Airlines crash that killed 157 people.
President Donald Trump announced he intends to order a grounding of all 737 Max aircraft effective immediately. Sunday's disaster was the second such crash of a Max 8 aircraft following that of Lion Air which plunged into the Java Sea shortly after takeoff in October.More on Boeing's 737 Max 8 and the Ethiopian Airlines disaster:
