 "Boeing 777, Airlines, aviation, flights")
Boeing Co. faces a new crisis after a 737 jet fell out of the sky in China, renewing concerns about its best-selling family of planes and extending one of the most turbulent periods in the aviation titan’s century-long history.
The 737-800 aircraft operated by China Eastern Airlines Corp. nose-dived Monday into mountainous terrain with 132 people on board, prompting the carrier to ground its fleet of the workhorse jets.
The model is part of the so-called “next generation” of 737s that have amassed a good safety record since they were introduced in the 1990s.
The tragedy puts a harsh spotlight back on Boeing
