Grieving relatives and friends of the 32 Kenyans who lost their lives in the crashed Ethiopian plane ET 302 had their hopes dashed yesterday.
Most of the bodies of the 157 people including 32 Kenyans who perished in the Ethiopian plane crash will never be recovered, identified and buried.
A BBC interview the CEO of Ethiopian Airlines Tewolde Gebremariam revealed most of the bodies were reduced to ashes by the intense heat of the fire and only a few pieces have been recovered.
“By the time I reached the site on Sunday the plane was completely underground and there was no sign of it above the ground. We had to dig up the wreckage to try and find bodies.
It is very sad that we were not able to get bodies. We only have very small pieces of the remains. That is the main challenge we have now.”
