The warning was taken very (very) seriously. Lufthansa flight LH411 from New York to Munich was forced to deviate from its flight plan and make an emergency landing on the tarmac of the airport shortly before 7 a.m. from Paris-Charles de Gaulle on Monday, according to information from Europe 1.
Also, according to Europe 1, the pilots of the Airbus A340-600 took action after receiving a warning from German air traffic controllers, who in turn alerted their American counterparts. According to them, a person claimed in a Tik Tok video that he planted an explosive device on the plane.
False alarm
After landing without incident and escorted by the Air Transport Gendarmerie to a safe place, the plane was emptied of passengers and then thoroughly inspected by the border police and demining team. The doubt disappeared around 8 o’clock in the morning. finally there were no bombs on board. But the alert was officially canceled almost three hours later due to a regulatory inspection of checked baggage.
As reported by Le Parisien, citing Lufthansa, “a potential security situation has not been confirmed and passengers have been transferred to Munich“. Those whose final destination was not a German city could be “directly from Paris to their destination“. This type of fraud is not isolated. last August, a passenger on a Transavia flight was denied access to AirDrop footage of a Transavia plane crash.
