I looked around and traffic was stopped by the cops for as far as I could see. <BR/><BR/>Word spread to take cover as there was a bomb inside the terminal and of course this was before IED became a household word. Next an LAPD Bomb Squad truck pulls up and a few minutes after that the "fire in the hole" was shouted with a resultant thump. When I finally got back into the terminal, you could smell the burnt explosives and the weirdest thing was that the area was covered in what looked like clumps of dog hair. One of the agents told me that was supposed to throw off the scent dogs (didn't work).<BR/><BR/>But back to your point, nothing, absolutely nothing was on any of LA's many TV or radio stations.<BR/>Traffic was backed up into LAX for over four hours and nothing ever made the news. <BR/><BR/>Sure makes you think that the news is packaged doesn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
