Condolences to the families.
Nice thought but completely valueless to them. Death is part of life and it's highly unlikely any of us will ever know any of the families.
Jet Aviation deaths are almost always closed casket. F = MA. Physics doesn't change for anyone.

Here is for hoping they solve the problem.

Yes- they need to address the problem of hitting the ground vertically at great speed from a great height.

Did this craft get the "upgrades" after the not-so-good rollout?

I don't know if it was due any. The 737MAX is, I believe, still banned in China.

So it wasn't that model. Ok.

It was a 737-800, It's the most common version of Boeing's jets now in service, and it is the workhorse of many airlines' fleets. Tracking services FlightAware and Flightradar24 reported this plane is the China Eastern Airlines Boeing 737-800 aircraft that crashed Monday with 132 people on board.6 hours ago
No. It was a 737-800, the most commonly used and reliable airliner on the planet.
A power dive straight down is very unusual. After a cargo fire, Valuejet 592 nosed into the Florida Everglades at 400kts creating an 18 foot diameter crater in silt before hitting the base rock/coral and splattering like a raw egg dropped off a roof. Most of the wreckage spread out under the silt making recovery problematic so it was designated a grave yard and off limits. https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Reports/AAR9706.pdf
Alaska 261 had an elevator jackscrew malfunction resulting in the jet rolling on it's back and nosing into the Pacific. https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Reports/AAR0201.pdf

Yes. Best just ground them all while investigations are underway.

You want to ground over 6,000 planes because just one of them crashed?
Even though we have NO IDEA why it did yet?
I think not.
China grounded their fleet, probably for a once-over maintenance review. Once the FDR and CVR are recovered, it should quickly fill in a lot of blanks.

Best to ground you, preferably using an industrial meat grinder.

They have a video of the plane coming down. It did a straight nose dive to the earth.
