They speak the black boxes of the 737 | Ethiopia has confirmed …

The badysis of the black boxes of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 that crashed last week east of Addis Ababa with 157 people on board shows "obvious similarities" with the crash in October of an aircraft of the same as the airline Lion Air, badured the Ethiopian Minister of Transport, Dagmawit Moges. The minister did not list the similarities but the result of reading the contents of the black boxes of the Ethiopian Flight 302 was sufficient to trigger the confirmation of the ban on flying the Boeing 737 model. MAX 8. Argentina, slow reflex prevention, just banned Saturday by decision of the ANAC flights of this model aircraft, of which Aerolineas Argentinas has 5 units.

"In the survey of the Parameter Recorder (FDR – Flight Data Recorder), obvious similarities were found between flight 302 of Ethiopian Airlines and flight 610 of Lion Air", said the Ethiopian minister at a press conference.

The aircraft Air Lion fell in October off the Indonesian coast with 189 people on board, with no survivors.

Moges said the preliminary report of the crash of Ethiopian Airlines will be released within 30 days.

The fall of flight 302 of Ethiopian Airlines killed 157 people. This is the second incident of the same model aircraft in five months. The aeronautical authorities of several countries, including the United States, have therefore decided to immobilize these aircraft. The United States did so reluctantly, a few days after the countries of the European Union had resolved the ban. Despite the US ruling, Argentina recently banned flights from the 737 MAX on Saturday, six days after the tragedy in Ethiopia.

The black boxes found at the scene of the accident, the FDR, as well as the badpit voice recorder were sent to France to retrieve the information.

The French Bureau of Analysis and Analysis (BEA) announced on Sunday on Twitter that "the data contained (in the black boxes) had been extracted successfully" and "forwarded to the team of researchers Ethiopian ".

Since the accident, several experts have evoked "similarities" between the accidents of March and October.

As in the case of the Indonesian company Lion Air, the fall of the Boeing Ethiopian Airlines was produced shortly after takeoff. Both aircraft experienced erratic ups and downs and variable flight speeds before crashing.

The Lion Air Boeing accident investigation determined the cause of the flight stabilization system malfunction to prevent the loss of durability of the aircraft, the Maneuverability Enhancement System (MCAS). .

The MCAS was introduced by Boeing in the 737 Max 8 model because its engines – heavier and more fuel efficient – have altered the aerodynamic qualities of the aircraft and may have caused the nose to lift under certain conditions. During the flight. manual flight

The MCAS system puts the aircraft "out of balance" when the aircraft stalls to gain speed, based on a misinterpretation in this case.

The New York Times reported Thursday that the Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 MAX pilot was experiencing an immediate emergency after takeoff. So he asked with a "panic voice" to come back as the speed of the device increased dangerously.

Meanwhile, Ethiopians went to the capital's Holy Trinity Cathedral to attend a funeral ceremony in memory of 17 of its citizens killed in the accident, including eight crew members from the plane.

The alleged victims cried while taking photos of their loved ones while an Ethiopian Orthodox priest was praying. Meselech Petros was wearing a t-shirt with the picture of her sister Amma Tesfamariam, 28, wearing the uniform of the air hostess. The woman said her sister did not have to work last Sunday, but agreed to replace a friend.

"What I can not forget is that he's leaving an eight-month-old boy," Meselech said. The funeral ceremony began when coffins covered with the Ethiopian flag arrived at the cathedral in a caravan aboard hearses.

We do not know what was in the coffins. Witnesses to the accident said that the plane had plunged into a field southeast of the capital. The strength of the impact therefore left few bodies intact.

On Thursday, while bereaved families were traveling to the area where the plane fell, AFP saw them fill plastic bottles with local dirt.
