Shortly before the maneuver, the air traffic controller had been in communication with other aircraft when the voice from Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 interrupted, saying "break, break" - signaling that other non-urgent communications should cease. The pilot sounded very scared, the source said. (Reporting by Maggie Fick; Additional reporting by Katharine Houreld and Jamie Freed; Editing by Tim Hepher and Leigh Thomas)
