Report from Ethiopia expected this week in Boeing 737 Max crash
FILE - In this March 11, 2019 file photo, parts of the plane wreckage lie at the scene where the Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 Max 8 crashed shortly after takeoff on Sunday killing all 157 on board at the crash site at Bishoftu, or Debre Zeit, outside Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. When air safety investigators release an interim report on the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 Max sometime before Tuesday, March 10, 2020, the one-year anniversary of the crash, they are likely to place the blame on the jet's automated flight control system as well as on the pilots and their training, but it's unclear yet which side will bear the brunt.
