There was no further contact with the flight. The aircraft was found to have crashed at 9,400 feet into the side of a mountain south of Jimma, killing one of the pilots and leaving ten of the passengers and remaining crew injured. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair. ==Cause== It was determined that the accident was caused by the following: :1.

The pilot misjudged the performance capabilities of the aircraft, in that he attempted to climb at a speed below the minimum safe climbing speed of the aircraft. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ethiopian Air Lines Flight 372」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
