A passenger released a video Tuesday night that shows the final moments before a woman who claimed to have a device surgically inserted into her body was escorted from a plane and taken into police custody.

The flight originated in Paris and was headed to Charlotte, but was diverted to Maine after the woman from Cameroon made her claim.

Passengers said they had no idea what was really happening until after the woman was taken off the plane. They said they were told they were stopping in Maine because the plane was low on fuel.

That excuse from the flight crew led to at least one passenger recording the events that happened next.

“You can see the security back there. They’re going to start escorting her off,” said Andrew Willet, indicating several points in the video he shot on his phone at the height of the confusion aboard US Airways Flight 787.

“That’s her being handcuffed and taken away,” he said.

The video captured some of the only images of a woman authorities said is responsible for a security scare on the Charlotte-bound flight.

“The pilot said we were going to make a landing for fuel, which was very unusual,” said Dr. William Milam, who was also on the flight.

Passengers, including Milam and Willet, had their own suspicions, however.

Willet said he had an encounter with the woman before the plane left Paris.

“She was quite small. I actually helped her put her baggage in the overhead,” he said.

But it was not long before witnesses said she started walking around the plane and telling people she was sick. Security officials later revealed the woman told the flight crew something had been implanted inside her.

“We see the security guys and we’d figured it was just a sick passenger. When they started filing in, we knew something was up,” Willet said. “We looked back and clearly saw her taken out of the back of the plane with her hands cuffed or tied or something like that. It happened so fast. It was over before it began with us.”

Doctors on board the plane did check the woman for recent scars and did not find any. There was also a search for explosives on the plane that also yielded nothing.

Passengers said they were still happy the pilot did not tell them the real reason the plane was diverted to Maine.

U.S. Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., who was briefed on the matter, said the woman who was detained was traveling alone without any checked baggage and intended to stay in the U.S. for 10 days.   

The FBI, which is conducting the investigation, interviewed passengers before the plane departed.   

"At this time, there is no evidence that the plane or its passengers were ever in any actual danger," said Greg Comcowich, an FBI spokesman in Boston.   

He said the agency wouldn't confirm the status nor release the identity of the passenger who caused the flight to be diverted.   

The TSA issued a statement saying the passenger exhibited suspicious behavior that warranted the unscheduled stop.   

"Out of an abundance of caution, the flight was diverted to (Bangor) where it was met by law enforcement," said TSA spokesman Sterling Payne.   

The Bangor airport is accustomed to dealing with diverted flights.   

It's the first large U.S. airport for incoming European flights and the last U.S. airport for outgoing flights, with uncluttered skies and one of the longest runways on the East Coast. Aircraft use the airport when there are mechanical problems, medical emergencies or unruly passengers.   

Home to a Maine Air National Guard unit, the airport also serves as a refueling hub for military aircraft transporting personnel and cargo to and from Europe and the Middle East.

Earlier this month, intelligence officials issued a warning about implanted bombs. Agents said terrorists may be trying to put devices inside people’s bodies to get around detection devices.
