Ethiopian Air Flight 409 Tumbled Out of Sky On Take Off From Lebanon

The crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 409 that went down off the coast of Lebanon is still  being investigated.  Witnesses reported that the Boeing 737 tumbled like "fire falling down from the sky" into the Mediterranean Sea.

The Boeing 737 is considered one of the safest commercial aircrafts in service today, although it has been involved in a series of incidents and crashes over the past 15 years.  These crashes have been linked to problems with a valve in the rudder assembly. The valve reportedly would malfunction and cause the rudder to turn independently of the pilot's commands.

The plane was carrying 90 passengers and crew bound for the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa.   All aboard were killed.
