The flight recorders of the Ethiopian Airlines jet which crashed off the Lebanese coast on Monday have been recovered from a depth of 1,300 meters.
The flight recorders may offer some insight into the causes of the crash which occurred in stormy weather. All 90 people on board the plane are assumed to have perished. So far, only 24 bodies have been recovered. The Boeing 737 passenger jet was en route from Beirut to the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa and crashed only minutes after take-off.
