Relieved Air France passengers arrived in Paris safely a day after a fake bomb forced them into an emergency landing and evacuation in Kenya.
Passenger Marine Gorlier of the French town of Melun cried as she met family members on Monday at Charles de Gaulle Airport. “We thought we were going to die,” she said.
All 459 passengers and 14 crew members travelling from Mauritius to Paris were safely evacuated.
This was the fourth recent bomb hoax against Air France. France has been in a state of emergency since Islamic extremist attacks on November 13, 2015.
