China, Ethiopia Indonesia ground Boeing 737 MAX 8 fleet, black box of Sunday crash found EthiopianAirlineCrash
ADDIS ABABA/BEIJING - China, Ethiopia and Indonesia grounded their Boeing Co 737 MAX 8 fleets on Monday while investigators found the black box from a crash that killed 157 people in the second disaster involving that airplane model in the last six months.
"Although we don't yet know the cause of the crash, we had to decide to ground the particular fleet as extra safety precaution," Ethiopian Airlines said. It has four other 737 MAX 8 jets, according to flight tracking website FlightRadar24. "Given that two accidents both involved newly delivered Boeing 737-8 planes and happened during take-off phase, they have some degree of similarity," the CAAC said, adding the step was in line with its principle of zero tolerance of safety hazards. The 737 MAX 8 is sometimes referred to as the 737-8.
Ethiopia's parliament declared Monday a day of mourning, while a global summit in Nairobi opened with a moment of silence as some wept for the UN members killed in one of the deadliest aviation accidents in the organisation's history.
