Some famous similar events. The Chevy Corvair. We all know, or think we know about it. The problem was according to stuff I read many years ago was due to pricing issues the car was built with undersized torsion bars (spring system) and that caused the car to under-steer and then over steer causing average drivers to roll them. The later Corvairs were improved. A friend has one and it is a great driving car. The car was ruined by it's early reputation.
The 737 max may well suffer the same fate as the Corvair a soiled reputation. Tried in the press by people who are not at all qualified to judge. The 737 max is not the only plane with problems-issues. There was or is an Airbus where the tail has more than once fallen off.
WHAT IF-is always a question that we do our best to deal with.

Of course it is my opinion.....if you believe that the "valid sources" don't have an agenda and don't have a bias that's your opinion too.Not sure what you point is. If we didn't buy into their agendas and biases they would have no ratings or sales....and they know that.
Comparing the 737 Max to the Corvair is interesting. Unless Ralph Nadar is writing another book I suspect the Max will be back in the air within 60 days if the software fix proves itself. Airbus had a similar issue with Quantas flight 72 in 2008, software was also to blame for their issue.
My issue was that Boeing kept saying the plane was safe when pilots, flight attendants and passengers weren't so sure. It took a mandate for the CEO to make the "abundance of caution" comment. Fortunately, they are now on the ground, and while they will fly again, they should stay there until the MCAS is proven fixed.
