Boeing has come under fire after two deadly crashes involving its 737 Max 8 aircraft in five months.
The first, an October 2018 crash of a Lion Air flight, killed 189 people. The second, an Ethiopian Airlines crash on March 10, killed all 157 people on board.
Many countries, including the United States, China, France, and Britain, have grounded the 737 Max 8 as investigators work to determine what caused each crash. While investigators have not released their final reports, there appear to be a number of similarities between the crashes.
These are five ways in which the crashes are or appear to be similar.
Boeing did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
