UNEXPECTED 2
Airfrance 9820 had been flying when they declared an emergency to Washington Control informing that one of the flight attendants told them about a possible bomb onboard and they didn’t know if that was true, but they needed vectors to land with all emergency services on the ground.
The controller understood the bomb threat, told the pilot to maintain altitude and hold over Washington VOR while they were clearing the airspace and coordinating with the authorities. The controller asked the pilot to inform the remaining fuel and number of people onboard.
