Var i närheten på mässa och allt i regionen blev kaos på lördagen och stora delar av söndagen med många inställda flyg med följd att MIA och andra regionala flygplatser också fick för högt tryck. Sedan måndag verkar allt tillbaka till normalt.

Flög just från terminal 2 på FLL idag utan problem.

En lokal tidning har undersökt hur polis och myndigheter hanterade händelsen

Through documents, interviews with witnesses and an exhaustive review of radio transmissions, reporters were able to piece together an analysis of the day’s tumult. They found:

  • Law enforcement officers inadvertently fueled the reports of additional gunfire. At least three shouted into their radios that they heard shots long after the gunman had been subdued.
  • Transportation Security Administration agents abandoned their posts and ran or hid. It’s what they are trained to do -- but it shocked passengers who looked to them for help.
  • Plainclothes officers panicked travelers who saw people in street clothes running with guns.
  • The crush of police who flooded the airport overwhelmed the county’s antiquated radio system, hampering communications.
  • As the hours wore on, authorities failed to guide or inform terrified passengers about what was happening or when they would get help.
  • Evacuation plans were inadequate. Even after the Sheriff’s Office declared the airport safe that evening, people were stranded until the early morning. About 700 ended up spending the night at a makeshift rescue center at Port Everglades, some sleeping on a concrete floor.
Destructive as those lapses were, they could have been anticipated, the Sun Sentinel found.
