A pair of Air France executives had their shirts ripped off them by staff after 2,900 job losses were announced.

Air France’s Executive VP HR, Xavier Broseta, and Director of Long-Haul Flights, Pierre Plissonnier, were cornered at its headquarters near Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, as several hundred workers besieged the building.

Plissonnier escaped with his shirt and jacket torn off him, while Broseta fled half naked after his shirt and jacket were ripped off him. Security guards assisted both in escaping.
