ADDIS ABABA — No bodies will be recovered from the site where Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 crashed, the airline's spokesman said on Wednesday, because only fragmented remains survived the impact.

"There were no bodies," he told Reuters.

Sunday's still unexplained crash, just after take-off from Addis Ababa, killed all 157 people on board.

Grieving families given earth from Ethiopian crash site

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — 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.

Officials have begun delivering bags of earth to family members of the 157 victims of the crash instead of the remains of their loved ones because the identification process is going to take such a long time.
