The head of Ethiopian Airlines says he cannot rule out anything as the cause of Sunday's crash of a passenger jet moments after takeoff from Addis Ababa, killing all 157 on board. "Ethiopian Airlines is one of the safest airlines in the world," Tewolde GebreMariam told reporters while visiting the crash site. China has ordered Chinese airlines to ground all their Boeing 737-Max 8 jets. Citizens from at least 35 countries were on the Boeing 737-MAX 8, including 19 United Nations workers. The Ethiopian Airlines jet went down in clear weather near the city of Bishoftu shortly after takeoff.
