There is a"clear similarity" between last weekend's Ethiopian Airlines plane crash and October's Lion Air crash in Indonesia, says Ethiopia's transport minister.
It comes as the official said the black box from the 10 March disaster was in good condition and almost all data has been extracted. The Boeing 737 MAX 8 crashed shortly after take-off last Sunday, killing 157 people. The victims came from 35 countries, and many humanitarian workers were on board. The US Federal Aviation Administration says satellite tracking data shows Flight ET302 made similar manoeuvres to those of another flight involving a Boeing 737 MAX 8 plane that crashed.Lion Air Flight 610 came down into the sea off Indonesia in October, killing all 189 people on board.
Both crashes flew with erratic altitude changes that could indicate the pilots struggled to bring the aircraft under control.
