Contracts are contracts, but there are arguments for a way out of it if it is found that the manufacturer has failed to adequately disclose to its customer critical information required the safe operation of the aircraft. Failure to provide adequate information or training might make Boeing responsible for the accident and liable to hefty compensation, but would not in my opinion warrant cancellation of the contract . I think the only case in which contract cancellation would have a solid legal ground if the aircraft type was found to have a fatal flaw and its certification was voided. Even in that case, if the problem could be addressed by a quick fix, then the logical consequence would be a contract suspension, not a cancellation. The logic behind a single faulty sensor input causing such an erratic behaviour by the aircraft is a serious deficiency in quality. Any fix to this by Boeing will surely come as an admission of this. I think the root cause being a faulty sensor is an assumption at the moment. If it is the case, then we'll see whether Boeing has to improve the aircraft. It depends in part on customers and certification authorities. But, once again, Boeing may be liable for the accident without Lion Air having sufficient ground to cancel the contract (not just suspend its execution). Surely any fix by Boeing will come as an admission of this. Don't call me Shirley !

...Boeing tried to throw him and his airline under the bus 🚌! Hahaha! I don't know if you intended it or not but that's a brilliant pun in the current context where Lion is threatening to go all Airbus ('bus) for their needs as a result of Boeing's blame deflection.

Makes sense! I don't get it! Why they cancelled the orders?

Why they cancelled the orders? They didn't, though they said they would. They felt betrayed when Boeing issued a statement strongly suggesting the airline was responsible for the recent catastrophe.

Very important news of course and pretty fantastic considering it seems to have stopped transmitting a signal! This crash needs clarifying asap.

Great job by Indonesia's navy. Well done. Found from 8 meters in the mud 30 meters deep on the seafloor.
PS: They now claim from under 8 inches of sand. Still good.
