‘Crash investigation could take months’

The director of France’s aviation investigative agency says there currently is not the “slightest explanation” for what caused the Germanwings plane to lose altitude and crash in the Alps.

Remi Jouty says the investigation could take weeks or even months.

Jouty says the plane was flying “until the end” — slamming into the mountain, not breaking up in the air.

He says the final communication from the plane was a routine message about permission to continue on its route.
