Striking similarities between Lion Air and Ethiopian Air crashes says FAA

0

When the Federal Aviation Administration announced it was grounding all Boeing 737 Max planes, the agency said it had identified similarities between last week’s Ethiopian Airlines crash and the Lion Air crash in Indonesia six months earlier.

The Ethiopian Minister of Transport reiterated that point on Sunday, saying preliminary data recovered from the black boxes of the crash in Ethiopia showed similarities to the Air Lion crash.

Neither agency provided many specifics.

So how were the two crashes similar?

Peru’s former president Alan Garcia died in hospital on Wednesday after shooting himself in the head at his home as police were about to arrest him in a sprawling corruption case. He was 69. The health ministry said Garcia died of “massive cerebral haemorrhage from a gunshot wound and cardiorespiratory arrest.” Garcia was resuscitated three times after suffering heart attacks while undergoing emergency surgery, before finally succumbing, Peru’s Health Minister Zulema Tomas said. The Casimiro Ulloa Emergency Hospital in Lima earlier confirmed he had suffered “a bullet wound to his head.” “This morning there was a regrettable accident: the president took the decision to shoot himself,” Erasmo Reyna, Garcia’s lawyer, told reporters outside the hospital after Garcia was admitted. “Alan Garcia has died, long live APRA,” said Omar Quesada, the general secretary of Garcia’s American Popular Revolutionary Alliance (APRA) party. The attempted arrest unfolded at 6:30 am (1130 GMT) at Garcia’s home in Lima’s upmarket Miraflores neighbourhood.
