Business Insider reports that Southwest Airlines has added a new safety device to its fleet of Boeing 737 Max planes. Southwest said it has activated the new "Angle of Attack" (AOA) indicators on its planes which will warn if the sensors are giving incorrect data. The addition of the safety feature comes just weeks after the Indonesian government identified issues with AOA on the Lion Air plane that crashed and killed 189 people.
