abc news live in washington with more on this black box bombshell. good morning. >> reporter: jessica, good morning. this was the second disaster for the boeing jet in as many months and did lead to the worldwide grounding of this plane. it was the crash in march that led to the death of over 157 people onboard and this morning the ethiopian transport ministry's initial findings show despite doing everything right the pilots couldn't recover the aircraft from a nose dive. >> the crew performed all the procedures repeatedly provided by the manufacturer but was not able to control the aircraft. >> reporter: two aviation sources told abc news the reason for the crash of the ethiopian airlines boeing 737 max, a damaged sensor. the sensor is called an angle of attack sensor and is located outside the cockpit. it likely was hit by a bird or foreign object triggering anti-

system known amcas which nosed down the jet. in a simulator it was learned in a situation like this the procedure for pilots is to use a thumb button to electronically angle up the plane, known as trimming the plane. if that fails, boeing emergency procedure calls for a shutdown of power to the mcas system. the airline ceo is saying they're proud of the compliance with the emergency procedures and the ministry said their recommendation is to have the flight control system reviewed by the manufacturer, boeing. boeing released a statement that said we urge caution against speculating and drawing conclusions on the findings prior to the release of the flight data and the preliminary report. now the ethiopian investigators dispute the fact that something hit the airplane which caused that sensor to malfunction. our sources tell us, though, they stand by that report. as for fixing it, boeing says they have a software update. they expect it to be approved by

the faa and rolled out in order to prove it's safe. the ceo actually tagged along. live in washington, serena marshall, abc 7 news. thank you, serena. walnut creek police say they stopped a suspected predator before he victimized another woman and detectives believe he plotted to kidnap and sexually assault more of his former co-workers. matt caruso remains in the contra costa county jail. he's held without bail. a walnut creek woman says she was attacked with a stun gun while walking to her car march 26th. she escaped with minor injuries after fighting back. a neighbor heard her screams. >> i heard what i thought was geese migrating but it turned out to be my neighbor calling for help. >> this is extremely disturbing. this is someone who is stocking their prey in order to do some heinous activities to them. >> later that day a maintenance worker alerted fremont police after finding a box inside a
