I can’t believe that some of you are talking about Addis Ababa, Bole Int’l Airport and Lake Victoria at the same time… PPL get a freakin map, Addis Ababa in nowhere near lake Victoria…

I was at Bole International airport in February 2007 and the wreck was still there.

all of you are off the mark and didn’t do your reserch.
Here are some facts to consider
*The airline is noted for its outstanding safty
*It also has been one of the best in matters of profits and service compared to larger international carriers
*A crash of this nature would not sit their for this long because of the laws requiring investigation and clean up of such incidents by both local and international agencies. (national laws)
*The laws as well as customs of the nation would not allow rumaging threw the plane as some have suggested especialy if it is precived that people have died
***More importantly their was a safty excersise that involved a plane of this nature conducted in that week.

I landed this morning to Addis Ababa.
I saw such an airplane near tha landing strip, me as well other passengers were surprised such a wreckage was showing there.
No colors on it, only dirty white.
The body was complete, no disintegrated parts as shown from the satellite.

Sam: Yes, but fire training aircraft usually look like these.

Hi Guys,

One thing you seem to be forgetting. At airports they have “dummy” crash scenes where old retired planes are used for training perposes to simulate what would happen if there was a real emergency. Since the plane is still very white (i would have thought a fire would have left black soot and ash everywhere) perhaps that is what this is??!!??
