The three crew involved in the Ethiopian Airlines freighter crash on Saturday have been released from hospital, according to the airline for which the flight was operating. Asky Airlines, the Lomé-based carrier, had wet-leased the 737-400F, which skidded off the runway at Accra when attempting to land after a flight from Lomé.
