Alaska Airlines - What Happened to the 737 MAX-9?

The first flight departed, let's see, 16.48 UTC and then 1653. So within 10 minutes. That is astronomically unlikely to have two flights departing from the same airport on the same runway, both encountering tail strikes. In this particular instance, there was a bug in the software that was sending very, very, very underweight values to the airplane. And so they had enough power to get off the ground but it also led to the tail strikes.
