Ethiopian crash black boxes sent to Paris as 737 MAX jets grounded globally.
PARIS/ADDIS ABABA - Investigators in France were to take charge of the crashed Ethiopian Airlines jet's black boxes on Thursday, seeking clues into a disaster that has grounded Boeing's global 737 MAX fleet and left scores of families mourning and angry.
Relatives of the dead stormed out of a meeting with Ethiopian Airlines on Thursday, decrying a lack of transparency, while others made the painful trip to the crash scene. The investigation has added urgency since the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on Wednesday grounded the 737 MAX aircraft citing satellite data and evidence from the scene indicating some similarities and"the possibility of a shared cause" with October's crash in Indonesia that killed 189 people.
The choice of the BEA followed what experts say appears to have been a tug-of-war between national agencies, with Germany initially invited to do the analysis. Since the Indonesia crash, there has been attention on an automated anti-stall system in the MAX model that dips the plane's nose down.
