we do know it was traveling from germany to southern spain and has come down in france, it may have come down into a mountainous area. there's little fact so far but certainly here in germany people are scrambling to find out what happened, what occurred, what might have caused this plane to come down. there's lots of speculation so far and little fact. >> i can only imagine the consternation rippling through germany now. what more do we know about the airline? it's a low cost airline and this particular model of plane this airbus? >> they operate 80 aircraft, low cost, low frills, short haul destinations around europe and to other countries around western europe, central europe, that sort of thing. they tend the break down of the airline is they tend to the airbuses, whether it's an a319, which is short haul or the a3120 which is the concern in this incident. the safety record is relatively good. these are airliners with very many different airlines operate around the world seen as a work horse, as it were for transporting passengers short distances a understand short haul flights low f
