Involved hardly the right word they are dead as a result of an accident.
After the crash I don,t think anyone will fly in that plane for awhile.when cleared who knows
Reading through all the comments, it appears - to me, anyway - that many are making "assumptions" on the cause of this tragedy, and making references to "stall", "trim", "nosedive", "pilots", "Boeing", etc. However, what about this?
(quoted extract). "The plane was already on fire when it crashed to the ground. The crash caused a big explosion," said witness Tegegn Dechasa at the site, littered with passenger belongings, human remains, and airplane parts.
"The plane was in flames in its rear side shortly before the crash. The plane was swerving erratically before the crash."
Farmer Sisay Gemechu, said: "The plane seemed to be aiming to land at a nearby level open field, but crashed before reaching there."
Why don't we wait for the official cause, instead of speculation?

i will not get in one of these boeings as a passenger until i read on this site that there is complete understanding on the cause(s) and fixes for these crashes. This was not a crash by some Lion airline style crap airline, bad maintenance and bad piloting. Ethiopian airlines is in my mind a trustworthy operation. Boeing best get busy discerning what the heck is going on here.
