Grieving family members of victims of the Ethiopian air disaster are being given sacks of earth to bury in place of the remains of their loved ones. Families are being given a 1 kilogram (2.2 pound) sack of scorched earth taken from the crash sites, members of two different families told The Associated Press. “The soil came as it became impossible to identify bodies and hand over remains to family members,” one family member said. In Paris, investigators started studying the cockpit voice recorder of the crashed Ethiopian Airlines jet Saturday, grieving family members were given sacks of dirt to bury in place of the remains of their loved ones. The Ethiopian disaster and a crash last year in Indonesia were both of the Boeing 737 Max 8 planes.
