An Ethiopian Airlines plane with 90 passengers (82 passengers and eight crew) on board had crashed into the Mediterranean Sea. The accident happened around 1:46 local time at the coast of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. The plane, a Boeing 737, disappeared from the radar a few minutes after takeoff and crashed into the sea. It was probably hit by lightning. The Lebanese president Suleiman doesn’t think terrorists are involved. This morning four bodies were discovered in the sea. There are also unconfirmed reports of seven survivors.

Eyewitnesses near the village Na’ameh (7 miles south of Beirut) along the coast, first saw a fireball and then saw the burning plane crashing in the sea. A heavy storm (thunder and lightning, torrential rain and strong wind) would have caused the disaster. An official at the Beirut airport said the plane was hit by lightning before it crashed in the sea.

Let’s hope they find more survivors!

   Great article. There’s a lot of good information here, though I did want to let you know something – I am running Ubuntu with the circulating beta of Firefox, and the layout of your blog is kind of quirky for me. I can understand the articles, but the navigation doesn’t function so great.

   lol some of the remarks bloggers post really are a bit spacey, from time to time i wonder whether these people realistically read through the pieces of article and posts before adding a comment or whether they only skim the blog post title and write the first opinion that jumps into their brain. anyway, it is actually helpful to browse intelligent commentary from time to time in contrast to the same, old opinion which i quite often notice on the internet.
