'No survivors' in Ethiopia plane crash

An Ethiopian Airlines jet has crashed shortly after take-off from Addis Ababa, killing all on board.

The airline said 149 passengers and eight crew members were on flight ET302 from the Ethiopian capital to Nairobi in Kenya.

It said 32 Kenyans, 18 Canadians, eight Americans and seven British nationals were among the passengers.

RIP.

Despite the infrequency, and the overall safety of flying, tragedies like this they are always shocking.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens at Boeing. This is the second 737-8 Max to go down since October. EA just took delivery of this plane in November.

It happened in Africa regardless of how many Americans died in the crash. Now if it was an American military action/accident then it might go in the US section.

the pilot probably had the flaps up

Shaping up to be a garbage-in/garbage out software glitch that pilots cannot override.

I was on an accident team for a major aerospace company for years. 99.8% probability it’s pilot or mechanic at fault.

Not to rain on your expertise, that was then and this is further advanced tech now.

Isn’t this the Aircraft that doesn’t actually have “wires” in it and rather uses something like Bluetooth to communicate with control boxes that move aelerons, flaps and rudders?

In other words ther is no way to manually control the craft or “fly by wire”.

Can someone confirm that? Maybe these are acts of terrorism and the controls are being hacked.

Well, considering I’ve done investigations after the Lindbergh crash, I know I’m right.

737 has more planes flying than any aircraft in history. If sabatoge were possible they wouldn’t target 3rd world airlines.

Two new same model aircraft go down within one year of each other auguring into the ground like a corkscrew.
Maybe, it's just me.

Ethiopian Airline is a botch better than Malaysian Airlines.
At least you can locate the dead.

That's terrible. No survivors?

Can a well placed Jihad mechanic install something to bring them down?

Anything is possible. But and investigation will tell. But the January crash was crew FU.
