Gross crew errors behind 2010 Ethiopian Airlines crash: report

BEIRUT: Flight crew mismanagement and inexperience were likely to be behind the 2010 crash of an Ethiopian airliner off Beirut, which claimed the lives of 90 passengers and crew members, according to the final investigation report announced Tuesday.
But Ethiopian Airlines dismissed the report as “biased” and “missing facts,” arguing that the plane exploded due to a possible act of sabotage.“ The investigation revealed that the probable causes of the accident were the flight crew’s mismanagement of the aircraft’s speed, altitude, headings and attitude through inconsistent flight control inputs resulting in a loss of control,” said the report, presented by Lebanese pilot Captain Mohammad Aziz during a news conference at the Civil Aviation Department. Transport and Public Works Minister Ghazi Aridi addressed the conference as well.
According to the report, the flight crew failed to abide by Crew Resource Management principles of mutual support and calling deviations, which obstructed “any timely intervention and correction.”

It is possible the report is right so learn from past mistakes and take good care of the future!!!!
Don't shift the blame all the time!!!!
the plane was brought down by terrorist explosion , its a sabotage , the etiopian pilot have been flying the aircraft for 20 plus years also witnesses on the ground claimed to see the plane on fire b4 it went down . KILL all arabs ,arabs are sub human animals . GOD BLESS ethiopia RIP all who passed away on that tragic accident.
Whether you like or not the EAL will march and you suck. Long live EAL! Long live Ethiopia!
Human error can occur any time any where and please for that matter do not take ET as all perfect Airline. Yes, in the good old days we have earned a pride,good name and to some extent sufficiency thanks to those fatherly figures of Captains and Management, but it is not always so. As many well experienced and highly qualified pilots are attracted with attractive salary,bonus with various Airlines in the middle east and left, our Airline had suffered with shortage of capable pilots and was forcing the new ones after a low flying hours to fill the schedules.This time many foreign crew are recruited to fly ET while those best ones are enjoying life with Emirates, Gulf and other Airlines.
God down Israel.
God bless Ethiopia.
Thanks for your ill advice and cover up we know each other very well.
