One of America’s top airports was evacuated Sunday afternoon due to a potential threat that has the FBI’s attention.
As KAKE reported, scores of passengers and workers were forced to leave due to a “serious incident” that is being speculated as a bomb threat. Officials have not confirmed this, however.
All flights have also been grounded.
