Sunday's Ethiopian aeroplane crash that saw 157 lives lost has led to different countries taking action against Boeing 737 Max 8 and 9.
The accident by the Boeing Max 8 was the second one in a space of 5 months after another one that occuredIndonesia where more than 190 lives were lost.
The pressure was mounting on United State to ground the Boeing 737 Max 8 after Canada's WestJet banned Boeing Max from Canadian airspace on Wednesday and other 40 countries too have banned the aircraft from flying for now.
United States of America President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday evening the decision has been made to ground all U.S. flights on Boeing 737 Max 8 and 9 planes 'effective immediately' in an emergency order of prohibition.
President Trump said he made the decision after holding talks with Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg and acting FAA administrator Dan Elwell after 'new information' and 'physical evidence' emerged on tragic incidents involving the Max 8 aircraft as reported by the Daily Mail, and all the three parties are in agreement with the decision.
In the order, any Max 7 or Max 8 plane that is currently in the air will be allowed to land, and then the planes will be grounded until further notice.
