Dry ice bomb at LAX: No threats made before explosion, FBI says


Sunday night, a dry ice bomb exploded in a Los Angeles Airport bathroom. The bomb was not aimed to harm anything. The blast was heard and officials rushed to the scene, where a bottle was discovered that contained the dry ice. The LA Bomb Squad was summoned, but there was little need for it. The only major report of dry ice bombs in public areas was last May, when a large dry ice bomb caused Disney World to shut down the portion of Toontown. Last month, a former TSA worker was arrested for making threats against the LAX terminals and the TSA agency. After the bomb went off, flights and operations were put on hold for about two hours. Four flights following the time of the minor explosion were affected. Thankfully, no damage was done, and no one was injured.
