'Pilots are no longer needed, but rather computer scientists from MIT,' Trump wrote.
President Donald Trump tweeted Tuesday that one cause of the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 which killed 157 passengers, could be that"airplanes are becoming far too complex to fly." Perhaps predictably, the mocking responses from a number of Twitter users were swift to arrive.
The crash was the second accident involving a Boeing 737 MAX 8 plane in the past few months, causing concern about the safety of the aircraft. The deadly crashes, both occurring within minutes of takeoff, have caused some to question the software onboard but no conclusions have been made. Some experts believe the planes' anti-stall systems cause the nose to tip downward but no aviation officials have called the technological advances on planes into question.
The president has not yet offered public condolences to the eight Americans killed on the flight, although White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said yesterday that"our prayers to the loved ones, friends and family of those killed in the tragic crash."
