What caused the Boeing crashes?

Ethiopian Airlines, flight 302. March 10, 2019. 157 people dead.

Lion Air, flight 610. October 29, 2018. 189 people dead.

What did both of these crashes have in common? Both were operating Boeing 737 Max 8 planes.

In this video, Vox talks you step by step how competition between companies led to the death of innocent travelers.
