T250:
Why are the media saying that most of the pax were unaware of the situation until the last moments.
This is taken from the statement made in the briefing earlier today by Brice Robin:
I think that the victims did not realise what was happening until the last moment, the very last moment. Because in the recording, we could only hear the cries at the last moment, just before the impact with the ground.
