LAX Just Shut Down
 

Not much information on what's going on. The AP reported that there was an incident at a screening station at one of the international terminals. Anyone heard anything else?

Okay.. they confirmed the entire thing is shut down for a security breech. There was an explosion at the airport.

Damn. oOo:

Los Angeles International Airport

there was an explosion and their evacuating the whole airport right now ed:

Okay.. there was an explosion at Tom Bradley International Airport that closed down the neighboring Terminals 6, 7 and 8.

Following this, there was a second incident which has not yet been disclosed, but it resulted in shutting down the ENTIRE airport, all terminals. No flights departing, but incoming flights are still being allowed to land.

Sources? It's probably a false alarm

CNN had it on for a few minutes.

/me turns on CNN

Just hurricane shit now...they said they were going back to it once they get more information.

Nothing on CNN, MSNBC, or Drudge...doesn't sound like a big deal

CNN has it in their little breaking news thing at the bottom. No one has any information on what's happening, though, so they're staying with the hurricane footage.

They confirmed that the airport is being evacuated, though.

all i see on cnn is the hurricane thing too.

It was a flare that exploded in an x-ray machine.

If it was really terrible it would have a lot more coverage. I hope it's a false alarm.

Holy crap. I was there a couple months ago.

Batteries in a flashlight exploded.
