March 31, 2015
A Germanwings airplane crashed near the Alps of southeastern France on Tuesday, March 24, 2015. The plane began decent in the treacherous foot of the mountain around 10:30 a.m. eastern stndard. Manuel Valls, prime minister of France, informed reporters that the people aboard the flight, containing 144 passengers and six crew members, are more than likely dead or severely injured. The Germanwings Airbus A320, on its flight from Barcelona, Spain to Dusseldorf, Germany, is not expecting survivors from neither French President Francois Hollande nor Germanwings CEO Thomas Winkelmann. However, heavy machinery has yet to reach the accident due to the terrain in which the plane crashed. Hollande warned that it may take hours, maybe even days to reach the remote crash site; meanwhile, the found bodies are being held in the sports hall of a local school. The school remains open, according to Sandrine Julien from the town hall of Seyne-les-Alpes village, is located around 6 miles away from the crash site. After the crash, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy tweeted that he is planning to put together a “crisis team” as well as send help to France upon his anticipated arrival to Madrid, Spain. However, as of right now the French government are doing everything in its power to aid the families of the plane crash victims, as well as recover all that they can from the crash.
