2010 starts with another major plane crash. Ethiopian Airlines Flight 409 went down off the coast of Lebanon. All 90 people on board reportedly were killed in the Boeing 737 jet.
Officials reported that people of various nationalities were killed, including the wife of the French ambassador in Lebanon who was aboard.
The plane crashed into the Mediterranean Sea shortly after taking off from Rafik Hariri International Airport in Beirut, Lebanon, early Monday morning heading to Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa. The plane crashed about nine miles west of Beirut. Our hearts go out once again to the families who lost loved ones.
