What we learned from Ethiopian aviation officials about Flight 302

(CNN)The pilots of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 did everything they were trained to do, but it still wasn’t enough to regain control of the 737 Max 8 before it smashed into the ground near Addis Ababa’s airport, killing 157.

That’s the conclusion of Ethiopian aviation authorities Thursday, as they discussed a highly anticipated preliminary report on the crash investigation, which has yet to be publicly released.
Last month’s disaster — along with another crash of the same type of jet in October killing 189 — was enough to ground the world’s entire service fleet of 737 Maxes and call the aircraft’s safety into question.
