Faxed threat forces evacuation at Portsmouth International Airport – By Kimberley Haas (Union Leader) / January 18, 2021
Portsmouth International Airport at Pease was evacuated Monday morning after officials received a faxed threat that there was an explosive device inside the building.
Chasen Congreves, manager of airport administration, said the anonymous message came about 9:50 a.m.
It demanded a large amount of money.
The threat indicated there was a package left in the building and if someone went to look for it, it would be detonated, Congreves said.
The decision was made to evacuate the terminal and police arrived minutes later, Congreves said.
