Flight from Paris to Beijing turns back after terror false alarm

A man has been taken into custody in connection with the incident.

AN AIR CHINA flight from Paris to Beijing turned back 30 minutes after take-off due to a terrorism threat that subsequently turned out to be a false alarm, according to French authorities.

Air China had said earlier that flight CA876 returned to Paris after the airline “received suspected terrorist information”, giving no further information on the nature of the threat.

“To ensure safety, CA876 flew back to Paris and landed safely,” the airline had said on one of its social media accounts.

But France’s state service for airport security later explained that the threat had turned out to be a false alarm resulting from a misunderstanding between the company and a passenger who arrived late for the flight at Charles de Gaulle airport.

“A passenger who was delayed due to an abandoned suitcase at Roissy (Charles de Gaulle) airport telephoned the company saying there had been a bomb at the terminal,” the security service said.

“The person he talked to thought he said that there was a bomb on the plane.”

A judiciary enquiry has been launched against the man – an Australian according to a source close to the investigation – and he has been detained.

“The plane touched down at Roissy at 1.55 pm (12.55pm Irish time). It had turned back after only 30 minutes in the air,” the state service for airport security said.

All of the passengers of the Boeing 787 jet will now be put on a flight to Beijing at 9 pm instead, it added.

The flight had been scheduled to depart Charles de Gaulle Airport at 11.30pm Irish time.

    Again if you’re going by kills Stalin still doesn’t quite beat Mao, for Stalin estimates vary from 20-60 million. Mao on the other hand reaches at least 70 million.

    But in terms of leadership. Sure Stalin brought the USSR out of its agricultural shell and improved industry to large extent, but did so at a heavy cost to the people. Not only that he was also a neurotic, not something you want in a leader even if he is a dictator. You could argue the fact that he beat the Germans back to Germany, but that is only because Mussolini is an idiot.

    could be a difference between who needs to have to have surveillance and tracking equipment assigned to them, and who is having surveillance and tracking equipment assigned to them.

    If i was a garda, part of the revenue or an intelligence officer in the army and wanted to use this equipment for personal or business reasons is there anything to stop me other than my own moral integrity. humans are fallible and all that, doesn’t change because someone passes an exam and wears a funky blue hat.

    the potential for abuse of this system is unholy. a person needs to ask why the government is so secretive about it? these surveillance powers were not used in cases of financial fraud that cost the state millions. what are these powers being used for.
    if someone be it a journalist or activist uncovers something that threaten a politician can they be put under surveillance secretly to find something to use as leverage. the potential for abuse is unreal.

    All of the revelations about the Patriot Act in America, their secret court system, and the Snowden Leaks in regards to the US/UK spying on everyone and as it turns out our country has an even more invasive system, prone to even large scale abuse with even less oversight.

    There are some great sites out there regarding privacy or lack there of, off the wall by 2600, project echelon, NSA stingray are all topics worth checking out. Why wire tap when you can listen in, no need to ask the phone company so no need for a warrant. If your naughty it’s not only Santa whose list you will appear on.

    What is this about keeping a record of your internet usage for about 3.5 years, your mobile texts for 6 moths and numbers you have called for 3 years. The E.U. brought this stuff in and our governments couldn’t wait to do this for them? That is what I heard…
