In this first episode, I lay the foundation of this podcast series with a concise summary of the remarkable Boeing 737 MAX 8 story.

I'll address the two crashes in 2018 (Lion Air Flight 610) and 2019 (Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302), the discovery of MCAS as the technical trigger of the flight emergencies, the investigations and public reactions, and the key outcomes.

I'll then lay out the most striking questions that emerge -- many still unanswered.
