Preliminary data retrieved from the flight data recorder of the Ethiopian Airlines plane that crashed shows 'a clear similarity' with an earlier disaster in Indonesia, Ethiopia's transport minister said Sunday.

This photo provided by by the French air accident investigation authority BEA on Thursday, March 14, 2019, shows one of the black box flight recorder from the crashed Ethiopian Airlines jet, in le Bourget, north of Paris. ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia -- Preliminary data retrieved from the flight data recorder of the Ethiopian Airlines plane that crashed shows "a clear similarity" with an earlier disaster in Indonesia, Ethiopia's transport minister said Sunday.

"The black box has been found in a good condition that enabled us to extract almost all the data inside," she told reporters Sunday evening. Suspicions emerged that faulty sensors and software may have contributed to the two crashes in less than six months. The planes in both crashes flew with erratic altitude changes that could indicate the pilots struggled to control the aircraft. Shortly after their takeoffs, both crews tried to return to the airports but crashed.
