Update Germanwings crash
'There is nothing left but debris and bodies': First pictures of obliterated Germanwings Flight 4U 9525 after it crashed into Alpine mountain at 400MPH - amid riddle over why pilots didn't send SOS
Airbus A320 was carrying 144 passengers - including two babies and 16 German children - plus six crew members
Plane plummetted into remote area of the French Alps en route from Barcelona in Spain to Dusseldorf in Germany
Early reports said the pilots issued a Mayday signal and requested an emergency descent after reaching 38,000ft
But sources later denied air traffic controllers received any such call, saying it was them that declared emergency
Some 150 firefighters and police have been deployed to the scene, but warn it could take days to retrieve any bodies
These are the first pictures of the obliterated Germanwings Flight 4U 9525 after it ploughed into an Alpine mountainside at more than 400mph with 150 people on board.
The final minutes of the doomed Airbus A320 were shrouded in mystery today after air traffic controllers claimed they received no SOS despite the jet nosediving 32,000ft in just eight minutes.
All 144 passengers and six crew were today presumed dead after the Airbus A320 crashed in a remote region of the French Alps en route from Spain to Germany.
Two babies were among 45 Spanish on board and 16 children from the same school on an exchange trip were among some 100 Germans also feared to have died.
Images from the first rescue helicopters to reach the crash site showed wreckage scattered across hundreds of metres of mountainside, with some debris the size of a car.
Christophe Castaner, deputy of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region where the jet crashed, tweeted: 'Horrible images in this mountain landscape. There is nothing left, but debris and bodies.'

The crash site is in a rugged part of the Alpes de Haute-Provence region of southeastern France that President François Hollande said at a news conference was very difficult to reach on the ground. The French Interior Ministry said that more than 400 police officers and rescue personnel had been sent to the area.
No Survivors as Germanwings Airbus Carrying 150 Crashes in French Alps
A French official with direct knowledge of the investigation said searchers were still looking for the other black box, the flight data recorder, which keeps track of roughly 1,300 different statistics about the aircraft’s operational performance.
The aircraft, an Airbus A320, operated by Germanwings, a budget subsidiary of Lufthansa, took off from Barcelona at 10:01 a.m. The jet, Flight 9525, climbed normally to its cruising altitude of 38,000 feet but remained there for only a few minutes before beginning to descend at a high rate, the managing director of Germanwings, Thomas Winkelmann, told reporters.
When French air traffic controllers lost contact with the aircraft at about 10:53, it was flying at just 6,000 feet, Mr. Winkelmann said, and it crashed shortly afterward. Witnesses in the area of the crash site said that the terrain there rose to an elevation of more than 6,000 feet.
