A new player in this crash is the AOA indicator, or more accurately, the AOA probe. For some reason the AOA transmitter was replaced and I'm kind of wondering how this relates to the pitot/static system. The AOA indicator should indicate the angle the aircraft is flying relative to the air they're flying in and if the new transmitter was not installed properly it could give an erroneous AOA indication.
Additionally, since they appear to have been flying with autopilot the flight control outputs would have been determined by the flight computer taking into account the data from the sensors. It appears that there maybe an issue in the software as it relates to the AOA sensor data and on a previous flight the plane went into a dive that the pilots were able to recover from. Ultimately, with as many issues as they had in the previous flights it is unacceptable that the plane remained in service until the problem was nailed down.
So, the lawyers will have a field day with everyone to blame. The pilots, the ground crew, the airline management, and Boeing. I can well imagine a bunch of lawyers are at this very moment placing orders for new cars and a second home.
