Ethiopian Airlines 737 Down Off The Coast of Lebanon

No Reports Of Emergency Broadcasts

Ethiopian Airlines flight 409 disappeared off radar screens shortly after leaving Beirut International Airport (OLBA) enroute to Addis Ababa (HAAB) early Monday morning.  Eyewitness reports indicate the 737 may have impacted in the Mediterranean Sea.

An unnamed source at the Lebanese Civil Aviation Authority confirmed the incident to the New York Times: "Yes, the plane crashed into the sea off Lebanon."

The flight reportedly took off just after its scheduled departure time of 02:10 local.  Less than an hour into the 4hr, 40 minute flight, Lebanese radar lost contact with the aircraft.

85 passengers are being reported aboard in addition to seven crew.

There is currently no speculation as to the cause of the incident.  An unconfirmed eyewitness report from the coast of Lebanon claimed to have seen an aircraft descending while engulfed in flames.
