Big scare for 497 passengers on the flight from Paris to Los Angeles.

The aircraft landed “safely” at the Goose Bay airport, and no injuries to deplore precisely the airline said in a statement .
According to images made by travellers, the frame surrounding the engine is detached. The result was enough to give cold sweats.
