"Someone told me that my friend, Mr. Jin, was no longer reachable. He had booked a ticket of Ethiopian Airline flight 302, and I immediately checked whether he was on board. When we learned he was on board, I urgently went to Addis Ababa from Beijing. At the very beginning we learned that there might be survivors, we very hoped he would be alive."

Colleagues of one Chinese victim who, along with seven other Chinese nationals, was aboard the crashed Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737, paid tribute to the eight deceased at the crash site in Bishoftu Town, about 45 km southeast of the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, on Tuesday.
Ethiopian Airlines confirmed that a Boeing 737 MAX 8, bound for Nairobi, Kenya, crashed shortly after taking off from the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa Sunday morning local time, killing all 157 people on board, including eight crew members.
Seven colleagues of 32-year-old Jin Yetao, who was identified as a staff member of the Aviation Industry of China International (AVIC INTL), bid farewell to their former co-worker.

At the very beginning we learned that there might be survivors, we very hoped he would be alive," said Wu Ping, an international representative of the Ethiopian Office of the AVIC INTL.
Jin was on a business trip to Nairobi. He had worked for the company in South Sudan for more than five years, during which he worked hard to educate local young men in various business skills.
At the accident site, plane wreckage was scattered over a large area, as big as a football field. The impact of the accident formed a crater more than 10 meters deep and 50 meters in diameter.
On Monday afternoon, investigators found two voice and data recorders, or black boxes.
