Reasons Why Ethiopia's Crash Victims' Bodies Will Take Longer to Release

Families of those who lost their lives during the Ethiopian Airlines plane crash on Sunday will have to wait longer so as to get the remains of their loved ones.

Ethiopian Airlines spokesman Asrat Begashaw stated that the process of identifying some victims could take longer.

“The process of identifying the victims will take at least five days,” he stated.

He stated due to the impact and ensuing fire, the identification of some remains could take weeks or months and may need to be done via dental records or DNA.

Speaking to Reuters, an expert stated the process might be complicated because the passengers were from more than 30 Countries and Ethiopia had limited forensic capabilities.

Some of the witnesses who stated the plane roared low over the field, emitting white smoke, before swerving sharply and crashing.

Kenyan businessman, Noordin Mohamed told Reuters his family had no information on when they would bury his brother and mother.

“Losing a brother and mother in the same day and not having their bodies to bury is very painful,” he stated.

The Sunday morning tragedy left 32 Kenyans dead following the Nairobi bound Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 MAX8 airplane, shortly after taking off.

Abuja, which was projected to contain maximum of 4 million people, was divided into four phases, and 16 cadastral zones, in the original city master plan, which was designed by the city builders in 1979.
