Before this incidence, at least 3 to 4 accidents occurred where the pilot was in fault. Like : They were pulling the sticks too high. The autopilot was screaming "Stall" "Stall". But the pilots were too busy or incompetent to notice. And ultimately crashed the plane.

I remember here in HN, there were cries why auto pilot didn't take over at that time and save lives. "Pilots should never be allowed to stall the plane."

Well, Boeing's new software did exactly that. Correct the situation when the pilot wasn't. And that crashed the plane.

Interesting indeed. Lesson: There's a lot to look beyond before taking a decision, even when the obvious decision is just in front of everyone.
