Everyone is on edge after the Paris attacks and now this. Two Air France flights bound for Paris from the U.S. were diverted Tuesday night because of an anonymous threat that was received after they took off.
One of those planes have since been cleared and they did not find a bomb. The cleared plane was Air France Flight 65 from Los Angeles International Airport to Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. It had been diverted to Salt Lake City International Airport.The second plane was Air France 55 that took off from Dulles International Airport right outside of Washington, DC. It was diverted to Halifax on Canada’s East Coast.
Passengers were removed from both planes safely and were taken to the terminals.

The passangers in the Utah airport were boarded on the plane again around 11:30 p.m. after the plane was cleared.
According to the Associated Press on of the passengers of the Los Angeles plane, Keith Rosso said:
The flight attendants quickly came by and cleared plates, then there was an announcement that we were making an emergency landing and that the flight attendants were trained exactly for situations like this.
Rosso also stated an FBI agent interviewed all the passengers after the landing.
In Halifax, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police lead the investigation.
