After Ethiopia crash horror, some nations ground Boeing 737 MAX 8s
on Monday as witnesses recalled the terrifying spectacle of smoke and debris trailing from an Ethiopian Airlines plane before it crashed killing 157 people.
“Cows that were grazing in the fields ran in panic … There was smoke and sparks coming from the back of the plane.” Boeing’s share price plunged at the prospect that two such crashes in such a short time could reveal flaws in its new plane. Indonesia, where a Lion Air 737 Max 8 went down in October, also said it would temporarily ground the model for inspection.
In Nairobi, a major hub for aid workers and diplomats in Africa, a summit opened with a moment of silence and tears for the U.N. members killed. The airplane was received in November 2018, had flown more than 1,200 hours, and returned from Johannesburg earlier on Sunday, Chief Executive Tewolde Gebre Mariam said. Getachew had mentioned difficulties and wanted to return.
