新奇事件簿 法航客机遭遇爆炸物恶作剧（在线收听）

There was a bomb scare on an Air France flight on Sunday. The plane was flying from the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius to Paris. A passenger found a strange-looking device made from a kitchen timer, cardboard and paper in a toilet. They alerted staff and the pilot decided to make an emergency landing in the Kenyan port city of Mombasa, which was the nearest airport. Air France's CEO Frederic Gagey said the device was harmless and caused a "false alarm". He said that someone probably put it in the toilet at some point during the flight. Mr Gagey added: "All the information available to us at the moment indicates that the object was not capable of creating an explosion or damaging a plane."

周日，一架法航客机遭炸弹威胁。航班原计划从毛里求斯飞往巴黎。一名乘客在洗手间发现了一个纸盒组装包裹，内装计时器。并随即通知机组人员，飞行员决定迫降在距离最近的肯尼亚蒙巴萨机场。法航执行总裁弗雷德里克称，这种计时器不会造成任何威胁，这是一场“爆炸物”恶作剧。他称可能是有人在飞机起飞后将其放置在了洗手间。弗雷德里克还称：“目前所有信息表明该物体不会造成爆炸，也不会对飞机造成威胁。”

Some of the passengers were put on alternative flights to Paris. Five others are being questioned by the police. A Kenyan police chief told the Reuters news agency that: "Some people are now airborne, but a few among them, who we we're interrogating, have remained with us, until ongoing investigations are done." The plane was carrying 459 passengers and 14 crew members. One of those on board said the crew told them that the plane was being diverted because of a technical problem. He said: "The plane just went down, slowly, slowly, slowly, so we just realised probably something was wrong." He added: "The crew of Air France were just great, just wonderful. They kept everybody calm and really quiet.

多数乘客已改乘其它航班飞往巴黎。还有5名乘客遭警方问询。肯尼亚警察局长在接受路透社采访时称：“部分乘客已乘飞机离开，但在调查结束之前，还有几名乘客要留在此地接受问询。”该次航班有459名乘客，14名机组人员。一名乘客表示称，机组人员说是因技术问题改道。他称：“飞机缓慢下降，我们以为可能是什么什么地方出了问题。”他还称：“法航的机组人员非常职业。他们让所有乘客保持冷静。”
