A preliminary report published by the Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority's Accident Prevention and Investigation Bureau found that Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 reached an airspeed of 575 mph just before it crashed. ​The location of the crash site was identified by investigators in a farm field near Ejere, Ethiopia. The aircraft's impact "created a crater approximately 10 meters deep with a hole of about 28 meters width and 40 meters length," reads the preliminary report. The flight crew followed all recommended procedures offered by Boeing to deal with such emergencies, but to no avail, the report said. Following both Boeing's statement and the release of the preliminary report, it was reported by the Washington Post that "additional software problems" were detected by investigators reviewing the MCAS.
