The report from Lebanon on the January 2010 crash of ET409 has been rejected by Ethiopia Airlines. It is not surprising that they would reject it as the report blames Ethiopian airlines; specifically they cite the probable cause of the crash as being “the flight crew’s mismanagement” and “a failure in basic piloting skills,” and that the pilot flew 188 hours in 51 days with minimum rest.
The crew ate during their Beirut stop, and complained they could not sleep afterwards.
Ethiopian Airlines claims the government withheld information, and claim the plane exploded.
No sign of fire or explosion were detected in the wreckage
