157 people from more than 30 countries were killed when an Ethiopian Airlines jet crashed shortly after takeoff from the Ethiopian capital. The Boeing 737 Max 8 was the same model as a Lion Air jet that crashed in October.
Rescuers remove body bags from the scene of an Ethiopian Airlines flight that crashed shortly after takeoff at Hejere near Bishoftu, or Debre Zeit, some 50 kilometers south of Addis Ababa, in Ethiopia Sunday, March 10, 2019. The Ethiopian Airlines flight crashed shortly after takeoff from Ethiopia's capital on Sunday morning, killing all 157 on board, authorities said, as grieving families rushed to airports in Addis Ababa and the destination, Nairobi.
The accident is likely to renew questions about the 737 Max, the newest version of Boeing’s popular single-aisle airliner. The Ethiopian Airlines CEO “stated there were no defects prior to the flight, so it is hard to see any parallels with the Lion Air crash yet,” said Harro Ranter, founder of the Aviation Safety Network, which compiles information about accidents worldwide.
Some of those aboard were thought to be traveling to a major United Nations environmental meeting scheduled to start Monday in Nairobi. “Why are they taking us round and round. It is all over the news that the plane crashed,” said Edwin Ong’undi, who was waiting for his sister. “All we are asking for is information to know about their fate.”
