The pilots of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 followed all of Boeing’s recommended steps when their plane began to nose dive shortly after takeoff. But they still could not stop the plane from crashing. Those are the early findings from a report released Thursday by the Ethiopian government. The Boeing 737 Max 8 jet crashed on March 10 just six minutes after taking off from Addis Ababa. All 157 passengers and crew members died. The Ethiopian government said it based its report on flight data and cockpit voice recordings. The plane’s builder, Boeing, said it could not comment until it studies the full report. The company’s 737 Max 8 jet has been criticized since a Lion Air flight crashed off the coast of Indonesia last October. That crash and the Ethiopian Airlines crash have several similarities, aviation experts say.
