Shock and anger after ‘deliberate’ Germanwings crash

Meanwhile, families and friends of victims gathered near the remote mountainous crash site area in the French Alps.

Tents were set up for families to give DNA samples to start the process of identifying the remains of the victims, at least 50 of whom were Spaniards and at least 75 Germans.

Remains found scattered across the scree-covered slopes were being taken by helicopter to nearby Seyne-les-Alpes.

One investigator said the operation would take at least a fortnight.

The crash site, which is situated at about 1,500 metres (5,000 feet) altitude, is accessible only by helicopter or an arduous hike.

Lufthansa said the aircraft was carrying citizens of 18 countries. The dead also included two babies.

A second black box, which records flight data, has not yet been recovered.
