All-clear given at KCI after bomb threat evacuates Terminal B
Flights delayed by bomb threat
Terminal B at Kansas City International Airport was evacuated Sunday night after a person said they had explosives in a vehicle outside the building, an airport spokesman said.
Airport spokesman Joe McBride said the person walked into the terminal and made the threat. The person is in custody, McBride said.
Passengers reported hearing a message on the intercom telling someone to move a vehicle over and over again before they were evacuated.
Everyone in Terminal B was moved to Terminal C while the Kansas City Bomb and Arson squad investigated.
The all-clear was given at 8:30 p.m., and passengers were bused from Terminal C back to Terminal B.
"It's good that security was on their toes and got everybody out like that, it's kind of exciting and horrible all at the same time," passenger Sam Tarlton said.
Flights were delayed due to the incident. If you're heading to Kansas City International Sunday night, you may want to check with your airline ahead of time to see if your flight was affected.
