Here’s what happened
A British Airways plane was surrounded by police at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris Sunday morning, due to a security threat to the flight.
Passengers were escorted off the plane and all baggage was checked and searched by police dogs, before it was allowed to take off.
Apparently an individual has made a direct threat to this aircraft. We will all be led off the aircraft & baggage searched in due course.
