Boeing has moved to ground its entire global 737 MAX aircraft fleet after an Ethiopian Airline crash killed 157 people. The Ethiopian Airlines crash bears “clear similarities” to the earlier Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX disaster, newly downloaded black box data suggests. The disclosure came as thousands marched in the capital of Addis Ababa, accompanying 17 empty caskets at a funeral for the Ethiopian victims of flight 302. Information collected so far from the flight data recorder had indicated “clear similarities” between both crashes, she said. Both the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder were sent to Paris for analysis by the French air accident investigation agency BEA.
