A search and rescue operation entered its second day after an Indonesian passenger jet crashed into the Java Sea minutes after takeoff in heavy monsoon rains.

More than 60 people were believed to be aboard the Boeing 737-500, operated by Sriwijaya Air, that had taken off from Jakarta, the capital, on Saturday. Officials said they found body parts and some clothes from the passengers as well as part of the wreckage in an area known as the Thousand Islands.

The crash comes at a terrible time for Boeing, whose reputation and bottom line were devastated by two crashes involving its 737 Max jet two years ago, including Lion Air Flight 610 that also plunged into the Java Sea.

Me: What is the difference between a 737-500 and a 737 Max. They are both the same plane, but the Max is an updated version of the 737-500, whereas the Max should have been a whole new design, they took the 737-500 and made it a bit longer and added bigger engines which changed the point of balance of the plane and they put in 2 sensors on the outside of the nose, which takes over control from the pilots, if the plane thinks it is going into a stall, without anyone knowing about this new computerized configuration, so if one sensor stopped working then the plane had a tendency to stall, which caused it to crash – as I recall from previous articles I have read.
Airbus brought out the 380, which was a new design and better than the 737, so Boeing cut corners to make the Max as a competition to the Airbus 380 and see what happened!!
737-500 and 737 Max are the same plane, different configuration. You get onboard a 737 and keep your fingers crossed you arrive later rather than sooner, sort of thing, like the above one which crashed.
