Ethiopia will release a preliminary report on Monday into the cause of an Ethiopian Airlines crash that killed 157 last month, a foreign ministry spokesman said. An anti-stalling system on the plane, a Boeing 737 Max, has been blamed for the disaster. The report will be released by the Ministry of Transport, Nebiyat Getachew told Reuters, although a time had not yet been set. One pilot, according to the Wall Street Journal, said to the other “pitch up, pitch up!” before their radio died. It was the second fatal crash involving a Boeing 737 MAX 8 plane in five months, following an accident in Indonesia that killed 189 people.
