The 157 people killed were from 35 countries, and 18 of them were Canadian. Many were United Nations workers on their way to a conference in Nairobi.

Investigators from Ethiopia and other countries, including the United States, are looking into what caused the aircraft, a Boeing 737 MAX 8, to crash.

It’s the second fatal crash for that type of plane within six months, which has led many countries to ground the plane pending the investigation.
