HEJERE, Ethiopia – Analysis of the flight recorders of the crashed Ethiopian Airlines plane has begun, the airline said Friday, and The New York Times reported that the pilot requested permission “in a panicky voice” to return shortly after takeoff as the plane dipped up and down and appeared to gain startling speed.

President Donald Trump in a phone call with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed praised the state-owned airline “as a strong institution” and affirmed U.S. support after Sunday’s plane crash killed 157 people, Abiy’s office said.

Forensic DNA work began in identifying remains, and Muslim families held prayers for the dead, anxious to have something to bury as soon as possible. The dead came from 35 countries.
