PARIS -- The second black box of the crashed Germanwings A320, found on Thursday afternoon by a gendarme, will be transported to Paris Roissy Airport this evening to be analyzed by French Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety (BEA), said Brice Robin, prosecutor of the Republic in Marseille.

The general status of the second black box, found by a gendarme, "leaves reasonably hopes of being analyzed", confirmed the prosecutor.

He also added that 150 profiles of DNA have been identified from the crash site, and every family of the victims will be informed right away of the result.

As for the restitution of the bodies, the prosecutor of the Republic said it will be after "all the identifications have been done".
