One of my friend just emailed me this sunday night that she was held 4 hours in her plane in JFK airport in New-York. 4 terrorists threatened to blow the airport, exploding the jet’s fuel tanks and pipelines. No damage. Here is what Paola wrote :
just back from New York, where we, travellers, escaped the most terrifying plan ever imagined after 9.11 (true ???): blow up JFK… terrorists did not succeed, we sat on the plane for four hours with no understanding of what was happening, and here we are (back in Paris).
Here is the release from Reuters.
