Boeing agrees faulty sensor led to Ethiopian jet's crisis

A preliminary report issued on Thursday by Ethiopian officials found that a malfunctioning sensor sent incorrect information to a Boeing 737 Max 8 jetliner, triggering an anti-stall system that began a chain of events that ended with the plane nose-diving into the ground, killing 157 people on March 10, the Associated Press reported.

Boeing has acknowledged that the sensor malfunctioned in the Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max jetliner, triggering the anti-stall system when it was not needed, the AP reported.

"It's our responsibility to eliminate this risk. We own it, and we know how to do it," Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg said in a video, according to the report.
