Cellphone video reportedly shows Germanwings flight's final moments, but officials say it's a hoax


French officials are denying media reports that a passenger or crewmember on board the doomed Germanwings Flight 9525 recorded a cellphone video in the final seconds before the crash.

German newspaper Bild and French magazine Paris Match reported that investigators found the footage at the crash site. The German paper said the video is blurry and doesn't show any of the passengers' faces.
