Wait.. before Ethiophian aircrash of Boeing 737 Max there was Boeing 737 Max aircrash in Indonesia happened in 3 October 2018. But my question is why the world only respond after the Ethiopian aircrash ?? Where are the world when Indonesia get the crash of this airplane in the first place ??? Singapore is the neighbor country of Indonesia but it only responded after Ethiopian airplane crash… Does the crash in Indonesia still wasn't enough to warn the rest of the world ?
I like this "worthy" as a suffix.
Thanks for the video.
