BEIRUT: The pilot of the Ethiopian Airlines plane which crashed shortly after takeoff from Beirut in January last year received several cockpit warnings that disaster was imminent, according to an investigative report probing the disaster, made public over the weekend.
The Transport and Public Works Ministry investigation progress report – more than a year after the Jan. 25, 2010, crash that killed all 90 aboard – revealed Saturday how successive signals, designed to alert a pilot to the dangers of stalling or turning too hard, were issued in the moments before the Boeing 737-800 plunged into the sea.
Caretaker Transport and Public Works Minister Ghazi Aridi said that a full analysis into the causes behind flight ET409’s crash would be available before the end of July this year. “We can completely depend on the reports that will come out before the final report,” Aridi told reporters at Rafik Hariri International Airport. “Our work is going in a good direction.”
