Black box data indicate “clear similarities” between last week’s crash of an Ethiopian Airlines jet and the October crash of an Indonesian Lion Air plane, Ethiopia’s transport minister says.

“Clear similarities were noted between Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 and Indonesian Lion Air Flight 610, which would be the subject of further study during the investigation,” Dagmawit Moges tells journalists, adding that a preliminary report into last Sunday’s Ethiopian Airlines crash that killed 157 people will be released in “30 days.”
