Boeing Co. 737 Max operated by Ethiopian Airlines crashed shortly after takeoff, claiming 157 lives and marking the second deadly accident in five months for the new version of the company’s best-selling jet
-- A Boeing Co. 737 Max operated by Ethiopian Airlines crashed shortly after takeoff Sunday, killing all 157 people on board, as the second deadly accident in five months raises fresh concerns about the U.S. manufacturer’s best-selling jet.The latest crash will stoke concerns about the safety of the 737 Max, less than two years after the popular narrow-body started commercial service. A Lion Air plane of the same model plunged into the Java Sea off the coast of Indonesia on Oct.
The doomed Ethiopian jetliner left Addis Ababa at 8:38 a.m. local time, and contact was lost six minutes later, the company said in a statement. There were people from 35 nations on board, including 32 Kenyans, 18 Canadians, nine Ethiopians and eight Americans. The United Nations, which is hosting an environmental conference this week in Nairobi, confirmed that some “friends and colleagues” were lost on the flight.
State-owned Ethiopian, Africa’s only consistently profitable carrier, is known for operating a modern fleet that features Boeing 787 Dreamliners and the latest Airbus SE A350, as well as the 737 Max. Southwest, which has 31 Max 8 planes, said it was in contact with Boeing about the Ethiopian crash. The Dallas-based carrier said it remained “confident in the safety and airworthiness of our fleet of more than 750 Boeing aircraft.” American, which flies 24 of the planes, said it would closely monitor the investigation.
