Oh Beirut: Reflection on reasons on the downing of an Ethiopian Airlines aircraft in 2010

An Ethiopian Airlines passenger plane, a Boeing 737-800 departed from Beirut Hariri international airport in Lebanon on January 25, 2010, at 2. 40pm.The plane exploded in mid-air after 3 to 5 minutes of take off at a height of 2700 meters. All the passengers, eighty-two of them and eight flight crew, totaling 90 people perished with the plane and fell into the Mediterranean Sea.

Then came a leak, information, that the aircraft was sabotaged. The Lebanese government came up on air immediately and denied vehemently that there was no sabotage. The author wants to bring to the reader's attention in: chapter V, SUPOSITION, that there is a rumor that is circulating around that the leaders of the concerned countries may have made the discussion put in the chapter, and is not documented.

But the Ethiopian government or the airlines, EAL, have never come forward to discuss, explain and condemn the accident officially, to the international community.

Infact they went on to suppress any information, leakage regarding the accident.

These are important documents written by different Lebanese government offices and other interest groups that floated on the international media or social media and are vital sources of information to this book.
