An Ethiopian Airlines plane has crashed six minutes after an early-morning takeoff in the country's capital, killing everyone on board.

The plane was a Boeing 737 MAX-8, a new aircraft facing another round of scrutiny, after it was involved in two crashes in six months.

A Boeing spokesman says a technical team will travel to the crash site to provide technical assistance.
