Board Orders Report on Airport Bomb Scare
Los Angeles County supervisors Tuesday ordered the Sheriff’s Department to prepare a report on the April 20 bomb scare at Burbank Airport that shut down one terminal for six hours, affecting at least 3,000 passengers.
They also asked for the department to review the process for alerting police and fire departments about incidents at the county’s commercial airports. The reports are due in 90 days.
Airport and Burbank police said law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and a sheriff’s bomb squad, responded within half an hour of the April incident.
