The aircraft that crashed was a Boeing 737-800. While Boeing has come under fire previously for crashes, it was the company's Boeing 737 Max that generated some of the harshest criticism over safety concerns.

Found this but doesnt say much, and I guess we will hear many theories until they have an conclusion of, if possible to make an conclusion at all. 

 

“This kind of tragedy is extremely unusual,” Richard Aboulafia, a managing director at AeroDynamic Advisory, said of the plane’s sudden, sharp drop from its cruising altitude.

Our Chinese friends try hard to make it vanish from memory.

It can take years to make an conclusion. Many puzzles to get together if no suspecion on suicide, hijacked or any other external proofs, or last minute voice recordings, they have to put together the plane with the available parts. Any news about the black box found intact?

But it does appear from the Wikipedia link provided by @NanLaew that the NTSB are part of the official crash investigation team, as is standard practice in the case of incidents involving American-manufactured planes.
