It is troublesome when two airplanes crash close together within a few months and they were using the same type of aircraft. Both of these crashes used the same type of aircraft and they had many similarities. One difference is that they were taking off and landing in different places. This is interesting because these flights would have most likely experienced different weather types. With the flight from Ethiopian Airlines ET-302, the main problem was from the Blowback.
These seem to be the only differences between the two crashes because there are so many similarities between the two. When the FAA looked into these matters, I am sure they saw some differences and tried to compare the two crashes to each other.
