It 'could' absolutely just be a terrible set of coincidences, but my almost 25 years in aerospace engineering, half of that responsible for systems safety and certification among other specialty engineering skills strongly leads towards MCAS as leading candidate.
And my statement could have been more clear, politics AND these recent accidents aside, MCAS is fuck up of unimaginable proportion - my bet is Boeing and FAA colluded to minimize MCAS in order to prevent having to set the MAX -8 and -9 as a NEW aircraft type that would not/could not be grandfathered as a 737 due to not being the same plane.
Yes, we should wait for accident reports and findings but at a certain point you don't need to watch the hammer you dropped to know it will in fact hit the floor.
