French accident investigator BEA said Monday that black box data recovered from a crashed Ethiopian Airlines plane show 'clear similarities' to another Boeing 737 Max crash in October.

Flight data recovered from the wreckage of an Ethiopian Airlines jet showed"clear similarities" to another deadly crash of that top-selling Boeing aircraft last October, according to the French accident investigator that downloaded the information.

The U.S. on Wednesday joined dozens of other countries around the world in ordering airlines to ground the planes after the Federal Aviation Administration said it found new evidence that may link the two crashes. Information from the other black box — the cockpit voice recorder — is also complete and has been handed over to Ethiopia's accident investigator, BEA said. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, which is participating in the investigation of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, also verified the data.

The Wall Street Journal, citing anonymous people familiar with the matter, reported on Sunday that a grand jury issued a subpoena to"at least one person" involved in the development of the plane. It said a prosecutor from the criminal division of the Justice Department was listed as a contact. The WSJ also said that the Transportation Department's watchdog was scrutinizing the FAA's certification of the new 737 planes.
