Over 60 flights were delayed from
Newark Liberty International Airport after levels one and two of Terminal C
were shut down due to reports of a suspicious package.
The FAA wrote to News 12 saying that United Airlines flights inbound to
Newark Liberty International Airport are being held at their departure
airports due to a reported security incident in Terminal C. It said to
check with airlines for flight statuses.
All levels have been reopened and officials gave the all clear to
continue normal operations.
Many of the people waiting in the
long lines questioned what caused this and why it happened on the 21st
anniversary of 9/11.
“I think it's the same thing going through everyone's
minds,” says Ella Rabani while waiting for her flight. “Especially we're close
to New York right now.”
