DUer Recursion was correct - A clear similarity between Lion Air and the Ethiopian crash

ADDIS ABABA, Ethi­o­pia — ­Ethiopia’s transport minister said Sunday that information from the flight data recorder on the Ethio­pian Airlines jet that crashed last week shows “clear similarities” to the crash of the same type of plane in Indonesia in October.

Dagmawit Moges told journalists that the condition of the “black boxes” — the data and voice record — was good and that enough data had been recovered that her ministry’s Accident Investigation Bureau would release a preliminary report in 30 days on what happened to Flight 302.

“During the investigation of the FDR [flight data recorder], clear similarities were noted between Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 and Indonesian Lion Air Flight 610, which will be the subject of further investigation,” Dagmawit said.
