UPDATE: Deemed a “non-event†by an airport spokeswoman.
A small explosion occurred in a piece of luggage at Bush Intercontinental Airport, according to officials. No injuries were reported.
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.
While no injuries were reported, several agencies, including the Houston Fire Department, were called to the scene.
