I don't know. This sounded like a ridiculous statement at the time

Until both investigations are completed, it's irresponsible to suggest grounding every 737 MAX in the world, or to suggest that the plane is a death trap.

And it does now. How in the world is it irresponsible to ground 370 planes that have only been flying for 2 years until a full investigation is done? It seems like that is/was the most prudent thing to do and letting them still fly until an investigation is complete was completely irresponsible.
Never mind the comments about the grown ups making the decisions. When in fact it turns out it was Trump, the president of Boeing and an FAA acting director tweeting and having irrational arguments about whether planes are too high tech/whether they are safe to fly/how much it will cost Boeing to ground until they got to the point of letting Trump put his face out as the savior to ground the planes.
The planes should have been grounded immediately after two new planes crashed until preliminary investigations could at least suggest it was unlikely to be caused by a design or technological flaw in the plane. The rest of the world was right on this one, and North America caved to self interests.
