ADDIS ABABA: Analysis of the data from the black boxes of an Ethiopian Airlines plane that crashed killing all 157 people on board showed `clear similarities` with October`s Lion Air crash, a spokesman for the Ethiopian Transport Ministry said.
Both planes were Boeing 737 MAX 8s, and both crashed minutes after takeoff after pilots reported flight control problems. Concern over the plane`s safety caused aviation authorities worldwide to ground the model, wiping billions of dollars off Boeing`s market value.
