U.S. not planning to ground Boeing planes after crash

Boeing shares tumbled over 5% by midday trading on Wall Street Tuesday
as a number of nations have grounded the company's 737 Max 8 jet.

This follows Sunday's Ethiopia Airlines plane crash that killed all
157 people on board.

The United Kingdom and China are among those to ground these planes
and the European Aviation Safety Agency is the latest body to suspend
flight operations.

But the U.S. isn't following suit. The Federal Aviation Administration
said it would examine data from the crash and act on those findings.

U.S. correspondent William Denselow reports.
