Update | French officials deny Germanwings crash video exists; 'no bodies found intact' at crash site
Investigators complete retrieval of bodies but say mobile phones retrieved from site have not been sent for analysis
A video purportedly showing the final seconds inside the cabin of the ill-fated Germanwings airliner minutes before it crashed has emerged, two European media outlets said yesterday, although French police denied the claims.
One sequence reportedly shows a chaotic scene with passengers screaming "My God".
French magazine Paris Match and German daily Bild said the authenticity of the video filmed on a mobile phone is "unquestionable" and that it had been retrieved from the wreckage of last week's crash in the French Alps.
However, French police Lieutenant-Colonel Jean-Marc Menichini denied that investigators had found mobile phone footage at the crash site, saying the reports were "completely wrong" and "unwarranted".
The recording lasting just a few seconds showed that passengers knew what was happening to them before the plane slammed into a mountain, instantly killing all 150 people on board, according to the reports.
"The scene was so chaotic that it was hard to identify people, but the sounds of the screaming passengers made it perfectly clear that they were aware of what was about to happen to them," said Paris Match.
