Physical evidence comfirms the link between two Boeing 737 MAX 8 crashes
Seattle - The horizontal stabilizer of the Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 on March 10 was in an unusual position at the time of the crash. Researchers concluded this after finding a drive spindle at the crash location, according to a flight safety consultant who spoke to the Seattle Times.

Still needs to be shown to us that the stabiliser was affected this way by the software and not pilot error or mechanical fault. Not saying it wasn't MCAS, seems most likely, but we need to see some public releases before anymore speculation here.
I'm waiting for the FDR data info on Deck angle following V2. That will be of most interest to me.
The experts will soon know the answer to why , and if the two accidents have same cause. Until that time why not find out why a software geek decided to take the airplane out of the hands of the pilot(s). From what I read, the ‘corrective’ action should have ceased once the came down. Oh! That’s right, the computer really didn’t know........
Call me old fashioned, but my concern for some time now has been that we'll get to a point where the automated systems think they know more than the pilots know. IF that turns out to be what happened here I hope we learn from it and think more carefully about automation.
To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. It would seem dangerous for a design team to make a significant change to engine position affecting forces in flight unless they advise operators and pilots of altered flight characteristics.
