turism&travel : Possible terror emergency in Las Vegas

Tuesday 05 April 2011

A terror attack is now out of the question at McCarran International Airport Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

For 50 minutes the McCarran Airport Terminal was in the dark after a power outage. Power was reinstated at the airport at 2.20am on Tuesday morning.

eTN editor in chief Nelson Alcantara was on board a Sprit Airlines Flight 124 with a planeload of nervous passengers unable to approach the terminal for an hour.

Michael Alanza, spokesperson for the airport, told eTN Nevada Electric is troubleshooting the cause of the outage. Lights are back on at this time and the airport was not evacuated. Lights worked at the runway and the control tower. The outage was for the airport terminals.

Nevada Electric has not been able to find a source for the blackout. There're no reports about injuries.

Las Vegas police closed all roads leading to the airport.
