<div>Roommates, many lives have been affected by yesterday&#8217;s fatal crash of an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 Aircraft. Since the crash, many countries including China and Indonesia, have decided to ground the jet.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Unfortunately, The United States Federal Aviation Administration has opted not to follow suit.</div>
<div></div>
<div>According to CNN, the FAA made a statement explaining they have not determined whether the issue with the Ethiopian Airlines jet that crashed on Sunday is related to another crash just five months prior via Lion Air.</div>
<div></div>
<div>&#8220;External reports are drawing similarities between this accident and the Lion Air Flight 610 accident on October 29, 2018,&#8221; the statement read. &#8220;However this investigation has just begun and to date we have not been provided data to draw any conclusions or take any actions.&#8221;</div>
<div></div>
<div>Instead, the FAA has decided to mandate &#8220;design&#8221; changes to each aircraft, which are expected to be done by April. The changes will include computer system updates, and changes to the flight crew manual.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Foreign countries are not taking lightly to the crashes, though. Both the Ethiopian Airlines and Lion Air planes were brand-new, and both crashed minutes into flight. China sees this as more than just a coincidence.</div>
<div></div>
<div>&#8220;A suspension in China is very significant, as this is a major market for Boeing,&#8221; said Greg Waldron, Asia managing editor at FlightGlobal.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Chinese Arlines have 97 of the 737 MAX aircraft grounded for service, which is more than a quarter of the total in operation worldwide. Ethiopian and Cayman airways have done the same, urging the planes will stay grounded until &#8220;more information is received.&#8221;</div>
<div></div>
<div>We are still keeping those affected by the crash in our prayers, and plan to keep you updated on the story, Roomies!</div>
