“Flight 066 landed without further damage at the Goose Bay military airport in Canada and all of the 520 people on board were evacuated with no injuries,” an Air France spokesman in Paris said. The Airbus double-decker, wide body aircraft was rerouted as it passed over Greenland, landing in Goose Bay in eastern Canada, the spokesman said. The landing went off with no problems for the jetliner carrying 496 passengers and 24 crew members, the spokesman said. The passenger, Miguel Amador, posted online brief video footage apparently filmed from a window of the plane showing the damaged engine. Air France operates 10 Airbus A380s, which are the largest passenger planes in the world.
