Germanwings crash video
Germanwings crash video, A lead investigator into the Germanwings crash has called for anyone with footage of the disaster to hand it over to the authorities.
French prosecutor Brice Robin said he was not aware of a video, reported by German and French media, showing the last seconds before the crash.
Bild and Paris Match said on Tuesday they had mobile phone footage from inside the plane.
Airline bosses spoke of their regret on a visit to the crash site on Wednesday.
Their statement comes amid mounting questions about how much the co-pilot Andreas Lubitz's employers knew about his mental health after it emerged he had disclosed a previous bout of "severe depression".
A recording from the cockpit of the aircraft suggests Lubitz, 27, deliberately caused the disaster, killing all 150 on board.
'Sound of screaming'
Mr Robin said investigators were not yet examining mobile phones found at the crash site, and he was not aware of footage from phones having been recovered.
German newspaper Bild and French news magazine Paris Match said they had obtained a video which recorded the sound of passengers screaming and the sound of a metal object striking the cockpit door.Anyone with footage "must hand it over immediately to investigators," AFP news agency quoted the French prosecutor as saying on Wednesday.
'Place of mourning'
Thomas Winkelmann, chief executive of Germanwings, and Carsten Spohr, head of the parent company Lufthansa, visited Seyne-les-Alpes on Wednesday to inspect recovery operations based there.
The Lufthansa boss said it would take a "long, long time" for investigators to establish the cause of the crash, and said "we're sorry" over the disaster.
Thanking rescue workers and local residents, Mr Spohr said: "Everybody at Lufthansa knows how hard this work has been... We are very grateful."
"We know the burden that has been put on this area, where nothing is the same anymore.
"We will do everything we can to turn this place into a place of mourning for relatives of the victims, and to restore this beautiful countryside."
They laid a wreath at a memorial to those killed but refused to take questions from journalists about the investigation.
Mr Spohr had previously said that Lufthansa was not aware of anything that could have driven the co-pilot to crash the Airbus A320.
