The bodies of the 10 victims of a twin helicopter crash in Argentina, including three of France's best-known athletes, were recovered Tuesday and taken to a morgue after a reality TV shoot went horribly wrong.

Champion sailor Florence Arthaud, Olympic gold medallist swimmer Camille Muffat and Olympic boxer Alexis Vastine were among the victims killed when two helicopters filming the survival series "Dropped" smashed into each other in the rugged mountains of La Rioja province, local officials said.
