View in browser|nytimes.com SEPTEMBER 20, 2019

What sent an expensive new Boeing 737 Max into the ocean on a beautiful, bright morning in Indonesia, killing 189 people on board? Four months later, why did an equally new 737 Max flown by Ethiopian Airlines crash? Two deadly plane crashes. 346 deaths and the worldwide grounding of an entire fleet of airplanes.

In this week's cover story, the aviation expert William Langewiesche goes deep into the reasons behind the failure of the airplanes: Malfunctions caused the crashes, but an aviation industry that put unprepared pilots in the cockpit is just as guilty.
