Jet turns around mid-flight

Santo Domingo - Air France says a flight has been forced to return to a Dominican airport because of technical problems with its air conditioning.

Paris-bound Air France Flight 493 had been airborne for about 20 minutes late on Thursday when the pilot noticed a technical problem and returned to the Caribbean capital.

Air France spokesperson Maria Esther Velasquez says the Boeing 777 had a problem with its air conditioning system.

The passengers aboard were taken to nearby hotels to await later flights to Paris.

The incident occurs weeks after a Paris-bound Air France Airbus A330-200 crashed in the Atlantic, killing all 228 people aboard.

Johan says... Wouter, you talk about "....They will bomb that powerplant...." ??? Do you have any insight into the infrastructure Iran has developed in their nuclear programme? Obviously not, there are dozens of plants, some up to 70m undergrounds, some built in mountains, etc. It will take Israel weeks to just bomb them all and even then some will survive. I was in Iran in April last year, and go and educate yourself, Iran is not Iraq. It is a highly developed country, and although many Iranians do noit support the leaders, they are proudly Iranian and want nuclear capabilities for peaceful purposes. Who is the USA to prescribe to Iran/ Iran has not invaded or attacked another country in 300 years. We all know the USA track record. And they are the only country in the world ever to use nuclear weapons. And as for Israel.....come on.....they are a most oppressive regime. Maybe the USA and Israel should free the Palestinians and address human rights in Saudi Arabia first. Read the article...
