Bomb scare closes L.A. port terminal
A major container terminal at the Port of Los Angeles was closed for nearly four hours Thursday following a bomb scare, according to local media reports.
The Los Angeles Police Department bomb squad was called to a suspicious container located at the Evergreen container terminal around 6 p.m. The Vincent Thomas Bridge, which runs over the portions of the terminal, was also closed for several hours, according to local media.
Port officials were alerted by a routine security X-ray of the container, said the local KCBS television affiliate.
After opening the container, investigators found nothing considered dangerous, said the TV station.
Following an all-clear from the police, the terminal and bridge were reopened.
