We all wish we could fight destiny especially when it turns out cruel but fate reminds us of how out of control we are with some situations.

Ethiopian Airline’s deadliest incident took place on 10 March 2019, when a Boeing 737 MAX 8, barely four months old, crashed shortly after takeoff en route from Addis Ababa to Nairobi; all 157 people on board perished.

Investigations to find answers that may bring closure to the victim’s families and friends as well as save the Airline’s reputation or damage it further commenced with the black box retrieved being the only hope.

The pilots of the Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 MAX plane that crashed last month initially took the emergency steps outlined by the manufacturer but still could not regain control, Renown Journal reported Wednesday.

The first, a Lion Air crash in Indonesia that killed 189 people in October, led to Boeing issuing a bulletin reminding operators of emergency guidelines to override a specially developed anti-stall system on MAX planes.

The pilots trying to regain control of the Ethiopian jet at first followed those procedures to switch off the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) but failed to recover control, the WSJ said, citing people briefed on the crash investigation’s preliminary findings.

They then switched the system back as they tried to find other ways to control the jet before it crashed, the newspaper added.

Its sources said “the latest details are based on data downloaded from the plane’s black-box recorders”.

The preliminary report on the accident will likely be issued this week, the Ethiopian government has said.
