While moving through the Atlantic Ocean, a part of France's aircraft carrier was opened. Because of this, the plane had to suddenly change direction.
According to the BBC, local time, on Saturday, a part of one of the four engines of the A380 number of Airbus falls on the west of Greenland.
No one was injured in the accident. Air France spokesman told AFP that the aircraft had 24 aircrafts and 496 passengers. Former aircraft carrier David Remar was also among the aircraft. He told the BBC that his accident happened due to mechanical fault in the engine wings. The passengers stayed there after a few hours of landing.
David further said, as the sudden noise caused the passengers of the plane to shout. Only then did the engine feel crippled.
The aircraft driver stopped the engine quickly. But there was no major damage to the aircraft wings. The aircraft landed safely.
Before reaching the airport in the eastern part of Canada's Gus Bay Airport, using three engines, the aircraft flew for an hour in the sky. From there another passenger passes on the plane.
Air France said in a statement that there was a major damage to an engine. The statement said that the driver of the aircraft was well-controlled.
