So can we expect the pictures of the body parts, or don't bother expecting any.....

looking at how badly the plane disintegrated and judging by the tiny little bits of debris no bigger than a breifcase, i am assuming that the people's bodies were pulverised and that all they will find are little fragments and chips of bone and some charred chunks of fat and skin. they will have to do DNA analysis on each piece they find and compare it to the family's to determine who is who. But I doubt they will find remains of every person who was on board and some remains may go undiscovered on that hillside long after the investigation is over.

The director of the lead investigating agency said today that they have recovered an audio file from the black box of the downed Germanwings flight but have not found the second black box from the Airbus A320 that crashed in the French Alps.

This comes after French Prime Minister Francois Hollande said at an earlier news conference when he said that crews had found the exterior of the black box but not the module that contains the memory equipment, though a the director of the Bureau d’Enquetes et d’Analyses (BEA) went on to deny any such discovery.

"We have not localized the black box," said BEA Director Rémi Jouty. "We have not found any debris of the black box and in the history of air accidents we know about ... [we] don't remember any recorder broken into little pieces."

When asked if they had ruled out the possibility of the crash being the result of a terrorist attack, he said the BEA is "not ruling out any hypothesis at this stage."

I would have thought if it was terrorist related some group or other would be claiming responsibility by now
