Mourners from near and far have descended on the farm field where Flight 302 crashed Sunday. Families trickle in, often crying as soon as they leave their buses and see the dark earth seeded with debris.
Ethiopian relatives of crash victims grieve at the scene where an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 Max 8 crashed shortly after takeoff on Sunday, near the village of Tulu Fara, southeast of Addis Ababa. By Paul Schemm Paul Schemm Overnight foreign editor based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Email Bio Follow March 14 at 10:33 AM TULU FARA, Ethiopia — In a plowed farm field at the base of a wooded hill lie the remnants of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 that crashed Sunday.
Cries of “My child!” and “My brother!” filled the air around the site. Some family members fell to the ground in grief, while others just moaned the name of their dead loved ones over and over. “She used to help us by bringing in equipment or clothes from abroad to the neighbors, and she had a car and was always the first to come out and help and give ride,” he recalled, gesturing to her many friends and family in the gathering crowd at the memorial.
“It is in the soil very deep,” he said of the aircraft debris. “The pieces are very small, no more than two meters [about 6 ½ feet] long, he said. The human remains he found, he added, “were even smaller.” “We don’t have the remains, so we can’t bury our uncle — no one has his possessions,” said Sahar Biton, who flew in later and was serving as a family spokesman. “There is hangar full of remains, and they won’t let us in there, either.”
