French investigators on Wednesday cracked open the badly-damaged black box of the German jetliner that crashed a day earlier, and officials sealed off the rugged Alpine site where 150 people died when their plane slammed into a mountain a day earlier.
Investigators were mining the cockpit voice recorder for clues into what sent the Germanwings Airbus 320 into a mid-flight dive Tuesday, after radio contact with the pilots was lost over the southern French Alps during a routine flight from Barcelona, Spain to Duesseldorf, Germany.

He said that authorities are nevertheless investigating all possible causes for the crash.
