Miami International Airport Evacuated After Bomb Threats At TSA Security Checkpoints

Hundreds of people have been evacuated from Miami International Airport after a suspicious item was reported inside one of the terminals, according to officials and local media reports.

“Just as I checked in and was about to go towards security, there was some kind of ‘pop’ and a huge panic started. Everyone started to run for the exits,” eyewitness Eugene Katchalov said in a social media post. “They’re now emptying the whole airport. Must be over 10,000 people outside now.”

Another witness, Patrick Emad, said people were being told to “move as far away from the building as possible.”

Videos posted on social media showed large crowds gathered outside the terminal areas as the evacuation continued. Authorities did not immediately provide details on the nature of the suspicious item.

Crazy situation at the Miami airport now. Just as I checked in and was about to go towards security, there was some kind of “pop” and a huge panic started. Everyone started to run for the exits.
