Initial analysis of the flight data recorder shows there was smoke in the lavatory and avionics bay.

Recovered wreckage from the plane’s front section shows signs of high temperature damage and soot, the first physical signs that fire may have broken out on the aircraft.

Investigation opened


The Paris prosecutor’s office has opened a manslaughter investigation.

A spokesperson says they are not looking into terrorism as a possible cause of the crash.

It is widely reported that experts are looking at technical failure as the most likely cause.
