What's happening Tuesday in the aftermath of the Ethiopian Airlines crash
Debris lays piled up just outside the impact crater after being gathered by workers during the continuing recovery efforts at the crash site of Ethiopian Airlines flight ET302.
As the investigation into what brought down an Ethiopian Airlines flight from Addis Ababa to Nairobi on Sunday continues, a handful of airlines have announced they are grounding their Boeing 737 MAX 8s -- the type of jet that crashed.
Singapore's decision appears to be the most far-reaching so far. The Singaporean aviation authority has temporarily barred all variants of the 737 MAX from entering or leaving the city-state.
Along with Singapore, the following airlines and jurisdictions have announced they are temporarily not using the 737 MAX 8: China, Indonesia, Ethiopian Airlines, Aeromexico, Cayman Airways, South Africa's Comair Airways, South Korea's Eastar Jet and Aerolíneas Argentinas.
A running list of airlines and countries that have suspended the use of 787 MAX 8s can be found here.
The news has appeared to affect Boeing's bottom line. The aircraft maker's stock dropped 8% Monday, with investors voicing concerns about the 737 and Boeing's future in China

Ethiopian Airlines announced the plane's Digital Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit Voice Recorder were found Monday. Both are considered important pieces of evidence to help investigators piece together the flight's last moments and explain why it crashed.
