Although I'd read some technical details about the cause of these crashes in the paper, I wasn't aware just how insanely unforgiving the MCAS software became for pilots that ran into its edge cases. Having just 10 seconds to respond before essentially guaranteed crash is crazy. Overall I thought this doc did a decent job storytelling; would recommend to those interested in engineering or technology.
