An Alaska Airlines flight carrying 125 people was evacuated on landing at Los Angeles International Airport on Monday after reporting a suspicious package on board, authorities said.
Police using bomb-sniffing dogs quickly determined that item was not explosive, LAX spokesman Harold Johnson said, but were still investigating.
Johnson said crew members on Flight 281, which was inbound to Los Angeles from Guadalajara, notified airport police that an item on board didn't belong to any of the passengers.
The plane landed normally at 8:57 a.m. but taxied to a remote area of the tarmac. Passengers were evacuated and taken to a terminal on buses as police examined the item.
Well, here's hoping that someone just left behind something on accident. However, somehow, I doubt it'll be that easy. Anyone want to make a bet that they determine that it's anthrax?
