Crash In The French Alps

The plane crashed on Tuesday morning near the village of Le Vernet in the French Maritime Alps. So far, however, it is still not known why this terrible accident occurred. It may be that a technical defect was the problem. It is hoped to find out more now that the Flight recorder are evaluated. It is very difficult for the French rescue forces to get to the scene of the accident. The plane has been torn into many thousands of pieces and the debris is scattered in a radius of 2 square kilometers. There are no roads to get there because the plane crashed in the middle of the mountains. The rescuers are flown there by helicopters and then roped off at the crash site.
