The remains can be seen Tuesday of one of two helicopter­s that crashed near Villa Castelli, Argentina. Investigat­ors have recovered the bodies from the remote site where the two helicopter­s collided in midair Monday, killing 10 people, including two former French Olympians in a tragedy that shook France and brought renewed scrutiny of the dangers while filming reality shows. Officials said all aboard — eight French nationals and two Argentine pilots — were killed. Among them were Olympic champion swimmer Camille Muffat, Olympic bronze-medalist boxer Alexis Vastine, and pioneering sailor Florence Arthaud. They had been among the contestant­s in the reality TV show Dropped, which was being shot in the region.
