Hope I'm not duplicating a thread elsewhere. A Germanwings Airbus A320 has crashed in the French Alps en route from Barcelona to Düsseldorf. 142 passengers and 6 crew. Breaking news.

Passenger Plane Crashes In Southern France

A passenger plane carrying 148 people between Barcelona and Dusseldorf has crashed in France.

The Airbus A320, operated by Lufthansa's Germanwings budget airline, came down in the southern French Alps.

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said the causes of the crash were not yet known.

"We of course don't know the reasons for the crash," he told reporters.

"We obviously fear that the 142 to 150 passengers and crew died today, given the conditions of this crash."
 
I don't think it is a duplicate, jslk, I just logged in to post a thread for this. It crashed in the French Alps. Is suddenly disappeared from radar. Hoping for possible survivors..

France's President Hollande says survivors unlikely (am following on BBC news channel on TV).
 
They've got an aviation expert on the line saying it's unclear as yet whether it was a digital or verbal distress signal.

There is an unconfirmed picture of the crash out there already. I'll post as soon as MSM picks them up. Just a large amount of smoke.
 
There were so many plane crashes "lately", so much for that traveling by air is supposed to be safe :(
