Aeroporto La Guardia - Problemi??


NEW YORK (CNN) -- Authorities have a man in custody after evacuating LaGuardia Airport's Central Terminal early Saturday morning, a Port Authority official said.

Port Authority spokesman John Kelly said the man is in custody and that authorities are investigating his bag.

No further details were not available, and it was not immediately clear when the terminal would be opened.

Video from the scene showed passengers and their luggage standing along the roads outside the airport.

Central Terminal is one of four terminals in the airport, which is in the borough of Queens. LaGuardia is about eight miles from Manhattan.

Laguardia Airport Reopens After Bomb Scare
Passengers Allowed to Re-Enter Terminal After Evacuation; One Man Arrested With Suspect Bag.
New York City's LaGuardia Airport has been reopened to passengers following a bomb scare.

Authorities say the airport's main terminal was evacuated after a man entered with a fake bomb in a bag.

Port Authority of New York and New Jersey spokesman John Kelly says the terminal was evacuated at around 5:30 a.m. Saturday after the man approached security in the airport's C concourse.

It wasn't clear if the man made a threat, but Kelly said security officials say he "was just acting crazy."

Police say the device in the man's bag was a few batteries and wires, but was not dangerous.

Passengers began re-entering the terminal shortly before 9 a.m.

Per fortuna niente di pericoloso all'interno della valigia.
 
C'è un'altra notizia sul La Guardia: gli scienziati dello Smithsonian hanno accertato che le oche canadesi coinvolte nell'incidente dell'Hudson non erano stanziali (come si pensava) ma migratrici; in particolare venivano dal Labrador.
Ciò pone un doppio problema all'aeroporto: risolvere il problema delle stanziali ed intercettare le correnti migratorie che attraversano i sentieri di decollo e atterraggio:
Ciò potrebbe determinare, secondo gli esperti, anche modifiche di rotte e di orari dei voli.
