The Federal Aviation Administration grounded the Boeing 737 MAX 8 and MAX 9 following a crash in Ethiopia that killed 157 people. It's the second deadly crash in six months involving the MAX 8.
There's 54 different carriers who fly about 350 of the 737 MAX's, but only two U.S. companies – American Airlines and Southwest Airlines – currently use the 737 MAX 8's.
Here's a look at the statistics of the Boeing 737 MAX 8, as listed by Boeing.

The Boeing 737 MAX 9, which has also been grounded, is a slightly larger plane. It measures 138 feet, 4 inches long, has wingspan of 117 feet, 10 inches, and can accommodate between 178-193 passengers.
Boeing rolled out its first 737 MAX 9 in 2017, two years after it debuted the MAX 8.
