The German daily Bild and French magazine Paris Match said Tuesday  their reporters have been shown a video they say was taken by someone inside the cabin of the doomed plane shortly before it crashed.

Both periodicals reported that the video was found on a memory chip that could have come from a cellphone. Paris Match said the footage was found "among the wreckage by a source close to the investigation."

The Associated Press said it could not independently confirm the reports.
