The only reason the folks inside that concourse were caught off guard is because the airport dropped the ball in warning the people inside the terminal. Every air traffic controller knew what was coming....so did the desk person in the airport PD. It'a all about communication, always is and always will be. I bet they have a procedure in place now for getting the information to the people in the buildings.

That was a screw up on the part of the Airport....you have to call it like it is. They are damn lucky nobody got hurt. Call it a miracle if you wish.....whatever.

The early warning system in the bi-state area is one of the best in the country.....there is NO disputing that. And once you heard the sirens, all you had to do was tune in your TV to a local network....they called it as it happened and were right on the money. It's a great system....I don't care who takes the credit...the truth is it's as good as the sum of it's parts, both public and private.
