african skies: The crash was strikingly similar to that of a Lion Air jet in Indonesian seas last year, which killed 189 people, according to The Japan Times. Both accidents involved the Boeing 737 Max 8, and China ordered a temporarily grounding of those planes for Chinese airlines Monday. ; The crash shattered more than two years of relative calm in African skies, where travel had long been chaotic. There was no immediate indication why the plane went down in clear weather while on a flight to Nairobi, the capital of neighboring Kenya. It also was a serious blow to state-owned Ethiopian Airlines, which has expanded to become the continent's largest and best-managed carrier and turned Addis Ababa into the gateway to Africa. At this stage we cannot rule out anything, CEO Tewolde Gebremariam told reporters. Ethiopian Airlines is one of the safest airlines in the world.
