Crashed Germanwings jet sent distress signal 46 minutes after take-off

The pilot of a Germanwings flight from Barcelona to Dusseldorf sent out a distress signal minutes before crashing into a 9,000-foot mountain in the French Alps on Tuesday.

All 144 passengers and six crew aboard the German Airbus A320 are believed to have died in the crash about 100 miles north of Nice.

Flight 4U 9525 vanished from radar screens at about 10.47am local time, 46 minutes after take-off from Barcelona. French officials said that debris had been found on the 2,961m-high Estrop massif near the small town of Barcelonnette in the Alpes-de-Hautes-Provence.

French President Francois Hollande and Prime Minister Manuel Valls said that they feared that all those on board had died. "Our first thought is for the victims of this catastrophe," Mr Valls said.

This was the first crash by a civil airliner in France since the Concorde crash near Paris in 2000, most of whose victims were German tourists.
