    Realistically, how much worse could they get? The disasters so far have only been limited by the number of people they can kill due to the plane’s capacity.

    Probably would have been different if they failed after taking off from New York or Chicago instead of Indonesia or Ethiopia, because, of course.

      I think a plane crashing into a populated city or neighborhood would up those numbers quite a lot though. And yeah, good point. I think another reason the 737 max issues haven’t been taken more seriously yet is because the two big accidents involved people from developing nations. Imagine if those planes were full of Americans.
