What Went Wrong With Ethiopian Airlines ET 302 Plan Crash 2019?

According to the Chief Executive Officer of Ethiopian Airlines, Tewolde GebreMariam, the plane lost contact with the airport within only 6 minutes of taking off from base. Prior to losing contact, the CEO indicated that the pilot had reported technical difficulties and asked for clearance to return to Addis Ababa. Investigations into the crash or emergency landing are ongoing in Ethiopia. Certain media analysts are speculating the fault as a manufacturer issue and not that of Ethiopian airlines considering the plane was brand new and the pilot was an expert who had flown over 8,000 hours.
