Two European publications said Tuesday they have obtained video taken inside the plane in the seconds before Germanwings crashed into the French Alps.

The German daily Bild and French magazine Paris Match said their reporters have been shown a video they say was taken by someone inside the cabin of the doomed plane shortly before it crashed.

Both periodicals reported that the video was found on a memory chip that could have come from a cellphone. Paris Match said the footage was found “among the wreckage by a source close to the investigation.”

The Associated Press could not independently confirm the reports.

Lieutenant Col. Jean-Marc Menichini, a high ranking official involved in the recovery operation, categorically denied that any cell phone footage had been found by investigators at the site.

Paris Match reported that “you can hear cries of ‘My God’ in several languages” and metallic banging, perhaps of the pilot trying to open the cockpit door with a heavy object. It said the screaming intensified toward the end, after a heavy shake.

Bild said that “even though the scene on board is chaotic and completely shaky, and no individual person can be identified, the accuracy of the video is beyond question.”
