Breaking: Ethiopian Airlines crashes

Subxanallah, it's one thing reading a figure of people that perished in that crash, it's another when you see a recording of the people moments before they all perished.

[Jabuutawi]

Knowing you and your loved ones are about to perish in few seconds, hearing babies crying, may Allah grant them jannah. To Him shall we return.

I almost wish it was a bomb or pilot error (most likely not), than a mechanical error, which has wider ramification.

The other video I speak of is SE Asian airline. The is the second Ethio airline that went down in 3 years.

May they all rest in peace.


These are the innocent souls Awrasta tried to mock

Subxanallah, this is why I ate flying.

This is a tragic day for everyone, let’s not politicize deaths.

Don't believe these so called footages guys. It's all fake.

Ask yourselves with no survivors how did people get hold of them? Planes lose reception once taken off and Africa network are worst especially places like Ethiopia.

The first people on the crash scene are emergencies and they not going to go throw phones and post it on social media.

I doubt any phones survived the heat. The plane completely disintegrated.

How does FB Live work? This person on the plane may have transmitted this way on this medium then a member, or even the company itself, saved the footage?

Unlikely mate. Cell phone reception is usually at 6000 ft maximum altitude and the plane was at 8000 already when it fell from the sky.



No one is going to go through phones and share information without the investigation body. The site would be long secured to protect evidence.

The footage above for instance is from another plane. It didn't crash.

A Somali British mother and her young son were among the victims. AUN to those who perished.

The video is suspect. A plane 737 descending at 500km/hr than 30 minutes into the flight would be at a steep gradient that would have made it nearly impossible for the crew to stand up and walk the aisles.

The 737Maxx has serious flaws that harken to the design in which engines that are too far in front that make it prone to lean down on ascent and reliance of the airplane software to correct this. Boeing apparently did not notify Ethiopian and Lion Air about the software updates and train pilots on how to deal with situations when it would kick in. The autopilot could overpower the manual controls.

All in all stay away from this plane. This accident made my check my next 6 flights which are not on this plane

Planes can have in-flight wi-fi.

[Jabuutawi]

Here are the victims by nationality. I suspect Ethiopians/Kenyans/Canadian may be mostly Somalis with dual citizenship.


Also, just as I suspected, this particular Boeing plane has structural problems. This will have far reaching consequences for sure - wider ramification as lawyers salivate over this tragedy. Lawsuits forthcoming.

China has grounded all of its 737 Max 8 jets.

About 18 Somalis died; 11 with US and Canadian passports, 5 Kenyan Somalis, 1 with Somali passport and 1 with Swedish passport.

Very sad.

Very sad, and heartbreaking.
May they rest in peace. I am a flight attendant myself.
This is very tragic.

[Khalid Ali]

Majority of Somalis who died were not from Somaliland that's what I know

[AwRastaale]

My bad this footage (I removed it now) is also fake (2013, Afghanistan).
