Ethiopian plane smoked and shuddered before deadly plunge

I have no upcoming flights on a 737MAX8, but am following the story intently. It is great to have a forum like this where interested people can have a lively and respectful debate. Thanks to everyone!

My question, what do you guys make of the following:

I keep hearing about MCAS or some software malfunction, but how would this cause smoking from the tail of the plane? (I suppose it is possible that the eyewitness accounts have it wrong and there really was no smoking, but there were multiple witnesses...).
