The Ethiopian Airlines on Friday dismissed as 'speculative', reports
that pilot error was behind the Beirut crash that killed 90 people in
January, saying investigations were likely to take long to reach
conclusions into the possible reasons behind the crash.
Ethiopian Airlines Chief Executive, Girma Wake, said the report of pilot error was 'speculative, speculative and speculative,' adding that the investigations were still continuing. Reacting to the latest reports that hinted pilot error was behind the crash of the Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 jetliner, taking off from the Rafik Hariri Airport in Beirut, Wake said it was still too early to talk about human error as the sole cause of the accident. 'The investigations would have to come up with the report. We have to wait for the final report,' Wake told PANA Friday. Lebanese authorities said a preliminary investigation report on the cause of the flight ET 409 crash would be released over the next few days.

 The crew of an Ethiopian airliner that crashed off Lebanon yesterday apparently flew into violent storms after failing to follow controllers' instructions to avoid them, it emerged today. "A traffic control recording shows that the tower told the pilot to turn to avoid the storm, but the plane went in the opposite direction," Elias Murr, the Lebanese Defence Minister, said. "We do not know what happened or whether it was beyond the pilot's control." All 90 on board the Ethiopian Airways Boeing 737 died when the aircraft hit the Mediterranean shortly after taking off from Beirut airport at 2am. Initial reports talked of a possible mid-air explosion and a possible engine fire before the aircraft took off, but the nearby thunderstorms were seen as a more likely explanation.
