I’d rather go with the opinion of a 737 pilot.

The guy has some excellent videos and my brother who has been flying 737s for 20 years and my neighbors on the airport where we live with our airplanes have been sharing the same information. The story the thread is based on is misleading.
All that needs to be done to disable MCAS on the 737 MAX and disable runaway stabilizer trim on any 737 is to flick the two switches to the manual position that are directly under the trim indicator and part of the “before taxi” checklist. Then the pilots just needed to turn the trim wheel right next to these switches until they got the trim back to an appropriate position.
These pilots didn't know what to do in a situation that they almost had to have trained for, and no they did not follow the correct procedure. They panicked and screwed the pooch.
I have seen a lot of misleading coverage about airplane crashes in the past, but nothing that can compare to this one. I am a little surprised that so many people here have taken the bait.
