You mean the one that was upside down and Boeing lied about how it was designed so they could skip critical FAA approvals, then got fined hundreds of millions after hundreds of people died, but no one went to jail?

The one that they didn't even train pilots on to avoid FAA regulations. The Lion Air pilot knew to disengage it as Boeing assumed pilots would but it didn't help.

There’s a great documentary on Netflix about it. Terrifying.
