An off-duty pilot correctly identified the problem the crew was facing and guided them to disable the flight control system in order to save the plane, Bloomberg reported.
One day before the deadly crash of a Lion Air plane on Oct. 29 last year, pilots flying that Boeing 737 Max 8 lost control of the aircraft — but they were saved by an off-duty colleague riding in the cockpit, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.
Investigators said the flight control system malfunction that day was identical to what brought down the same aircraft the next day, according to the report. The Boeing plane, operated by a different crew, crashed into Indonesia's Java Sea, killing all 189 on board. Boeing declined to comment, while the Indonesian safety committee did not immediately reply to CNBC's request for comment.
