Alpine Mountain Crash

Local French officials oversaw the quiet burial of unidentified remains from the Alpine crash a year ago of a Germanwings plane flown into a mountain by its suicidal co-pilot.

Investigators picking through the wreckage of a passenger jet that crashed on a remote Alpine mountain said they had found DNA from more than half of the victims, as more details emerged concerning the doomed flight's last minutes.

A young German co-pilot locked himself alone in the cockpit of Germanwings flight 9525 and set it on course to crash into an Alpine mountain, killing all 150 people on board including himself, prosecutors said on Thursday.
