Germanwings crash: Second Alps flight recorder found
Search teams have spent days scouring the crash site for the second flight recorder
The second flight recorder from the Germanwings A320 jet that crashed in the French Alps last week has been found, the Marseille prosecutor has said.
The voice recorder was found almost immediately at the site of the crash on 24 March.
Recordings taken from the first "black box" suggested co-pilot Andreas Lubitz had deliberately crashed the plane.
The plane had been carrying 150 people from Barcelona to Duesseldorf.
In a separate development, German prosecutors have revealed that Lubitz had researched suicide methods and cockpit door security.
Eight minutes
Details from the flight data recorder (FDR) are seen as vital to the investigation into the crash, as the information contains information on the time of radio transmissions, the plane's acceleration, airspeed, altitude and direction.
Lubitz began the jet's descent at 09:31 on 24 March, shortly after the A320 had made its final contact with air traffic control.
Little more than eight minutes later, it had crashed into a mountain near Seyne-les-Alpes.
