Investigators said they have 90 percent of the data needed for a final report on the October crash that killed 189 people. French air accident investigation agency BEA said on Tuesday the flight data recorder in the Ethiopian crash showed "clear similarities" to the Lion Air disaster. The cockpit voice recording from that flight was wiped during maintenance undertaken before the plane's final flight, investigators said.
