:Plane Crash Warning Boob Panics Passengers
- Panic broke out on a flight to Paris when the cabin crew played an emergency landing announcement by mistake.
- Passengers on the Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Paris began shouting out and crying as they thought their plane was about to ditch.
- The drama followed an initial announcement made in English, telling passengers to return to their seats because of turbulence.
- But then the crew accidentally played out a recorded emergency landing warning in French as the plane headed south over the Irish Sea.
- Around 70 French passengers were reported to be "freaked out" on hearing the warning.
- One English-speaking passenger said: "The French man sleeping next to me woke up and looked very startled.
- "He then translated what had been said, that the plane was about to make an emergency landing and to await instructions from the pilot.
- "I got quite alarmed. The woman behind me was crying. All the French totally freaked out."
- The plane was just 20 minutes into its flight to Paris when the bungled announcement was broadcast.
- The Irish airline's cabin crew quickly realised their mistake and swiftly apologised in French.
- An airline spokesman said: "There was a malfunction of the public address system and we apologise to our passengers.
- "This sort of thing happens very rarely."
