Officials are still trying to nail down the details of what they think is a hoax – a hoax that sent a massive wave of panic through Terminal 8 as people abandoned their bags and took off running.
Along with the Port Authority police, the New York Police Department had its Hercules Strike teams, Critical Response Command, Strategic Response Group, Emergency Service Unit and patrol policemen at the airport, according to New York law enforcement officials.
