Local French officials oversaw the quiet burial of unidentified remains from the Alpine crash a year ago of a Germanwings plane flown into a mountain by its suicidal co-pilot.
Bernard Bartolini, mayor of nearby Prads, said the remains were found during the decontamination of the crash site and were buried Thursday in a ceremony attended by himself and officials from Lufthansa, the parent company of Germanwings.
Le Vernet has become a memorial site for those who lost their lives on the Alps mountainside in the distance.
