Two Argentine pilots and three acclaimed French athletes were among the 10 who died Monday when their two helicopters collided and crashed in a remote area of northwest Argentina.
A spokesman for the La Rioja regional government told The Associated Press that federal Judge Daniel Herrera Piedrabuena interviewed crew members yesterday at a hotel in Villa Union, about 25 miles (40 kilometres) south of the crash site.
The collision occurred during production of a French reality television show called "Dropped." The victims included two Olympians, swimmer Camille Muffat and boxer Alexis Vastine as well as pioneering sailor Florence Arthaud.
