“Ethiopian crew followed procedure but could not save jet”

The crew of the Ethiopian Airlines jet that crashed six minutes after takeoff last month performed all procedures recommended by Boeing when the plane started to nosedive but could not save it, according to findings from a preliminary report released Thursday by Ethiopia’s government. The report, based on flight data and cockpit voice recorders on the Boeing 737 Max 8, was not released in full. Boeing declined to comment pending its review of the report.
