Flight ET 302 crashes

Ethiopian Airlines flight ET 302 crashed shortly after takeoff from Addis Ababa en route to Nairobi yesterday morning.

The palne was a new Boeing 737 MAX 8 and is the second of these aircraft to crash in four months.

On board the plane were many aid workers, including an Irish engineer from Co. Clare, on their way to a conference which begins in Nairobi today.

All 157 passengers and crew were lost.

Would there be more news about the crash if it happened in the developed world or had it been a plane owned and operated by a carrier from the developed world?
