Budget airline Germanwings said Wednesday there were at least 72 Germans on its plane that crashed, killing all 150 people aboard, in the French Alps.

Winkelmann said that Germanwings was still working on establishing the nationalities of all the victims, a task complicated by the fact that some passengers had dual nationality.
