Burnt Bagel Blamed For St. Louis Airport Evacuation
Luckily, no one's flight was delayed.
ST. LOUIS, MO — A burnt bagel caused St. Louis' Lambert Airport to be evacuated around 6 p.m. Tuesday after smoke detectors were set off. More than 300 people were forced outside where the temperature was well below freezing. While the evacuation only lasted a few minutes, the passengers were forced to go back through security. Thankfully, no flights were delayed.
Temporary partial evacuation in T2 out of an abundance of caution after alarm detected smoke near a restaurant. ARFF responded. Evacuation lasted about 5 mins. Normal Operations have resumed #safetyfirst
