Speaking to the BBC, one passenger said they were unaware of the threat, being told they were being diverted due to a technical problem:
"The plane just went down, slowly, slowly, slowly, so we just realised probably, something was wrong.
"But the personnel of Air France were just great, just wonderful. So they keep everybody calm and really quiet."Explore more on these topics:
