Police evacuate Anchorage airport - UPI.com ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. 14 (UPI) -- Police evacuated the main terminal at Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage, Alaska, Sunday morning due to a security breach, travelers said. Airport police did not explain what happened or how serious the breach was, the Anchorage Daily News reported. Hundreds of passengers -- many of whom were dressed in summer clothing from their warmer departure cities -- huddled in doorways to keep warm in the chilled Alaska air, the News said. Shuttles transported the passengers, a dozen at a time, to the North Terminal for warmth. Police set up a road block at the entrance to the airport, preventing cars from getting to the terminal to pick up arriving passengers. Angelique Mendez-Mena, who arrived on a flight from Portland, said she hadn't been told when she would be able to pick up her baggage. If nothing happens in the next hour, I only live about 20 minutes away. I'll just toodle along, or find a taxi," she said. At least I remembered my gloves.
