France’s air accident investigation agency is working on the flight’s black boxes with teams from Boeing as well as U.S. and EU aviation safety authorities
ADDIS ABABA/PARIS — Ethiopian Airlines said on Saturday that DNA testing of the remains of the 157 passengers on board flight 302 may take up to six months as it offered bereaved families charred earth from the plane crash site to bury.
“We were told by the company that we will be given a kilo each for burial at Selassie Church for a funeral they will organize,” said one family member who asked not to be named. “We are Muslims we didn’t care about that . We did yesterday our prayers at the mosque and that is all for us.” France’s air accident investigation agency said on Saturday it was working on the Ethiopian flight’s black boxes in coordination with teams from Boeing as well as U.S. and EU aviation safety authorities.
