Search and rescue teams have their mission to reach a remote sight in the French Alps where authorities have confirmed a German plane carrying 144 passengers and six crew members crashed while en route to Dusseldorf, Germany from Barcelona, Spain. It is thought that there will be no survivors. The wreckage of the plane, which is located very deep in the mountains was located by a French military helicopter. Officials are not sure when the plane made its last contact with air traffic controllers but they do know that they lost radio contact 40 minutes after the plane took off at around 10:40 am. After radio contact was lost, air traffic controllers sent out an emergency call as the plane crashed from an altitude of 38,000 feet. Even thought rescue teams have not made it to the crash sight, from helicopter views, it is believed that there will be no survivors of the crash.
