It seems the US have finally caught up...

BBC reporting that Trump has announced that the FAA are grounding the 73M...

US President Donald Trump has said the US Federal Aviation Administration will ground the Boeing 737 Max 8 - the aircraft in Sunday's crash in Ethiopia.

The FAA had previously held out while many countries banned the Max 8 from flying over their airspace.

All 157 people on board the Ethiopian Airlines flight were killed when it crashed just minutes after take-off.

It was the second fatal Max 8 disaster in six months, after one crashed over Indonesia in October, killing 189.
