Before I get to today's stories, other than the shootings at two New Zealand mosques, I must first pass on something which I ran across earlier today about the Boeing 737 MAX airplane. According to an article in The Seattle Times which came out last November after the crash of a Lion Air 737 in Indonesia, the FAA identified a possible flaw in the plane's flight control system.
