Kansas City Airport Reopens After Evacuation

The Kansas City International Airport experienced an evacuation due to a potential threat, but the terminal reopened after authorities investigated and deemed the threat non-credible. Flights were held on the taxiway during the shutdown, which lasted about two hours. A witness described the quick response by authorities and the relocation of about 2,000 people to the tarmac during the evacuation.
