Pilot's flight path studied
The pilot of an Ethiopian Airlines plane that crashed into the sea flew in the opposite direction from the path recommended by the control tower after taking off from Beirut in thunderstorms, Lebanon's transportation minister said yesterday.
All 90 people on board were feared dead after the plane bound for Addis Ababa went down in flames minutes after takeoff on Monday.
