A suitcase blew up at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport (via Hot Air Headlines):
HOUSTON - A small explosion occurred in a piece of luggage at Bush Intercontinental Airport, according to officials. No injuries were reported.We may never get a clear answer to what happened here, but it's worth noting for now that the plane carrying it arrived from Holland, where even Abdulmutallab flew in from.
Smoke was seen coming from the luggage shortly after it was unloaded off a jet around 2:15 p.m. Tuesday, according to the Houston Airport System. The jet had just landed at the airport from Amsterdam.
Ground crews said they noticed something strange about a blue suitcase and were working to remove it when they heard a "pop" and smoke came pouring from it, according to an airport spokeswoman.
