TUESDAY’S air disaster was not the first crash seen at the tiny ski resort of Barcelonette in the French Alps: half a century ago, an Air France plane to Vietnam crashed in the same spot.
The crash took place on September 1, 1953, about 16 kilometers from Barcelonnette, killing 42 people on board.
It came down not far from the wreckage of the Germanwings Airbus A320 that crashed on Tuesday, leaving 150 dead.
The Air France plane was on a night flight from Paris to Saigon when it clipped a mountain and crashed into a rocky crevice just before midnight.
