Investigators looking into the Ethiopian Airlines crash have found a flight control feature automatically activated before the plane came down.

The Wall Street Journal says officials have been focusing on the anti-stall feature on the Boeing 737 Max, which crashed earlier this month – killing 157 people, including Lahinch engineer Micheál Ryan.

The US plane maker said it couldn’t comment as the investigation is still underway.
