Small Explosion at LAX
On MSNBC....It takes something big to knock Hurricane Frances off the cable news. There is confirmed news of a small explosion at LAX. The airport is now closed. It was in the Bradley International terminal. A bag was going through screening process and a flashlight or something similar went off. One screening employee is complaining of ringing in the ears. Another has swollen fingers. There are no reports yet of anyone going to a hospital.
It may be only a flashlight whose batteries exploded. Stay tuned. Here's an early AP report. Please use comments to update.
