Alps plane crash - School holds candlelight vigil

A candlelight vigil was held in the German town of Haltern for 16 students and two teachers who died in the Germanwings plane crash.
A Germanwings Airbus A320 plane crashed Tuesday in the foothills of the Alps in southeastern France with 150 people on board, obliterating the plane and sending shockwaves through at least three European nations.
Flight 9525 took off just after 10 a.m. Tuesday from Barcelona, Spain, for Dusseldorf, Germany, with 144 passengers -- among them, two babies -- and six crew members on board. It went down at 10:53 a.m. (5:53 a.m. ET) in a remote area near Digne-les-Bains in the Alpes de Haute Provence region.
Earlier the town's Mayor Bodo Klimpel said it was "the worst thing imaginable".
