Weeks after the 10 March 2019 Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crash, The Times of Israel reported that Ethiopia was still blocking access to victims’ remains, with relatives describing the site as disordered and belongings left exposed.
One relative of the 157 killed said the crash field remained a scene of grief without dignity: bones, personal effects, and unanswered questions about why families could not retrieve what the impact left behind.
The Ethiopian government’s handling of ET302 mixed technical investigation politics with raw human failure. Boeing’s software story dominated global headlines. Families needed bodies, answers, and respect.
As accountability archive, this file refuses to let the crash become only an aviation-engineering case study. How Abiy Ahmed’s state treated bereaved families is part of the record.
