埃航坠毁客机的黑匣子已找到

埃塞俄比亚航空公司失事航班ET302救援工作11日进入第二天。11日，埃航官方宣布，失事客机的两个黑匣子均已找到，接下来他们将就事故原因展开调查。

Both the digital flight data recorder (DFDR) and cockpit voice recorder (CVR) on the crashed aircraft that killed all 157 aboard on Sunday have been recovered, Ethiopian Airlines said Monday in a statement.

‍A Nairobi-bound Ethiopian Airlines flight crashed shortly after taking off from Addis Ababa on Sunday, killing all 157 people on board.

A total of 149 passengers and eight crew members were on the Boeing 737 Max 8 commercial aircraft.

China, Indonesia and Ethiopia have grounded Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft following the deadly crash on Sunday.

The company on Monday announced that it has indefinitely grounded all Boeing 737 Max 8 jets following the fatal crash as an "extra safety precaution." Chinese aviation regulators have also ordered domestic airlines to suspend operations of all Boeing 737 Max 8 planes.

People from 35 countries were aboard, with Kenyan nationals making up the largest number of passengers on board, 32 in total.

The Boeing 737 Max-8 plane went down at 08:44 a.m. local time, six minutes after taking off.

It's not yet known what caused the crash, but the carrier said the pilot had reported difficulties and asked for permission to return.

After the deadly crash, a Chinese firm, the China Railway Seventh Group (CRSG), assisted in the rescue work by quickly mobilizing large-scale equipment.

The search for bodies is still underway and the "black box," the jetliner's flight data recorder, or black box, has not been found yet.

Who are the victims?

According to the breakdown of nationalities given out by the airline and a Kenyan transport official, 18 Canadians and nine Ethiopians were killed, as were eight passengers each from China, Italy, and the U.S.

根据该航空公司和一名肯尼亚交通官员提供的国籍分类，18名加拿大人和9名埃塞俄比亚人遇难，中国、意大利和美国各有8名乘客遇难。
