They said they've flown over the site with a helicopter. It is probably what they saw there, that confinced them of this statement. Remember the plane shot down over ukraine. You wouln't expect any survivors there as well, if you saw the pictures. They probably had a similar view in the alps. | ||

There has always been plane crashes. I think we might talk more about them than we used before the internet and the social medias. You would also have to consider that civil aviation has boomed in the last 20 years in a extraordinary fashion. Statistically, it means more crashes. From what i read, aviation is actually much, much safer than it was even at the beginning of the 90s. | ||

Contrairement à ce qu'a affirmé le secrétaire d'Etat aux transports, Alain Vidalies, dans la matinée, l'équipage de l'avion n'a pas émis d'appel de détresse, a indiqué à l'Agence France-Presse la Direction générale de l'aviation civile. "L'équipage n'a pas émis de 'mayday'. C'est le contrôle aérien qui a décidé de déclarer l'avion en détresse car il n'avait plus aucun contact avec l'équipage et l'avion", a-t-elle précisé. | ||

Sixteen schoolchildren and two teachers are believed to have been on the aircraft, a spokeswoman for the German town of Haltern am See has said. "We don't have any official confirmation yet," she added. Local media reports (in German) that the children are from the Joseph Koenig school. It says the building has been closed and students sent home. bless their souls | ||
