BALDWIN: You are watching CNN. I am Brooke Baldwin. Let's talk about the investigation now into the Air Algerie flight. It has crash in the conflict zone in northern Mali where at least 116 people were on board. Take a look at what we are finally seeing today. This is what the French forces saw when they arrived in the crash site Thursday. A plane, according to the French disintegrated. No survivors. France's foreign minister says 54 French nationals were on board flight 5017. That's the largest group from any one nation. Also a short time ago, French president Francois Holland says he shares the pain of the families and there are more families today dealing with the same emotions. This is the third major aviation disaster this week. Some families around the world lost loved ones on a flight that crashed Wednesday off the coast of Taiwan, 48 people were killed there. And just eight days ago, Malaysia air flight 17 shot down over eastern Ukraine, 298 lives lost. Al Goodman, let me bring you in from Madrid on this most recent crash. We know that a black box has been recovered. Are they closer to finding out why it went down?</s>AL GOODMAN, CNN MADRID BUREAU CHIEF: Hi, Brooke. They're really just starting. But there are some key differences from what we seeing, for instance, with the Malaysia plane that was shot over the Ukraine. That was a very broad field of debris and the bodies over a very broad area according to authorities there. Here in this desert area of Mali, the French troops are stationed in that conflict zone, moved in, secured the site. And the French president said this day in Paris, that's a very compact site. So there are some key differences. But they haven't ruled out anything according to French president. Although, he does say that weather is the key option as what caused this crash. Authorities have said since Thursday that the pilot, very shortly in to this overnight flight radioed in and said he was going to have to change course because of severe weather.
