20 Years After the Hijacking of Air France Flight 8969

The wikipedia page reads like a Clancy novel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_8969

Intense situation. It's remarkable that in the end there were so few casualties.

Just FYI if you load the original page (http://www.lefigaro.fr/assets/marignane/) you can see the video reenactment and a comparison of essentially before and after of the cockpit.

I don't know for sure if it truly was their plan but it was later revealed that their goal was either to crash the plane on the Eiffel Tower or on an other tall building of Paris.

Here's the untranslated piece on Le Figaro's website for those who read French: http://www.lefigaro.fr/assets/marignane/

Merci :)

I wonder why Google translated "huis-clos" to "camera" in the header text. Best I could find is that Sartre's Huis Clos was originally called "in camera" which means: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/in_camera.
