Mourners continued to stream to the site of the disaster, some of them wailing and beating their chests on Thursday, March 14.
Authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the crash, and details are emerging about the final moments of the aircraft, which fell to earth just six minutes after takeoff. Flight tracker information shows the Boeing 737 MAX-8 jet’s vertical speed was unstable, and Captain Yared had radioed air traffic control to request a return to Bole International Airport just after taking off.
