About 600 gendarmes, firemen and medical staff, including about 10 forensic experts, are involved in the efforts, with 50 military police trying to find a ground route to the mountain crash site. Teams in five helicopters are seeking to recover the second black box from Germanwings Flight 9525. None of the bodies of the 150 passengers have been evacuated from the site.
