First post

Hello blog world,
this is my first post in my blog, Commercial Aviation.  As much as I would prefer for my first post not to be negative there was an incident involving an Ethiopian Airlines 737-800 this morning.  A Boeing 737-800 took of from Beirut this morning at about 2:30 A.M headed to Addis Ababa the capitol.  Ethiopian Airlines is considered a safe and reliable airline by world standards and even more so by standards set in Africa.  This is only the second fatal crash the airline has had since 1980.  The first being a hijacking of a Boeing 767-200ER that ran out of fuel and crashed into the Indian Ocean.  You can read more about it here.  Thats all for this first post but as I know more about the crash that occurred today I will update my blog.
