A Boeing 737-800 belonging to Ukraine International Airlines crashed shortly after takeoff from Imam Khomeini International Airport, Iran, on Wednesday (January 8th). All 176 passengers and crew perished in the incident.
Boeing aircraft have been involved in previous accidents. In October 2018, a Boeing 737 MAX 8 operated by Lion Air crashed, resulting in 189 fatalities. A similar incident occurred with Ethiopian Airlines in March 2019, killing 157 people.
The two previous Boeing crashes were attributed to a malfunctioning automated sensor in the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS). However, Boeing has yet to comment on today's accident.
