Urn prompts evacuation at Indiana airport  Send a link to a friend

[October 05, 2007]  INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Hundreds of people were evacuated from an airport early Friday after a person brought an urn to the airport, a spokeswoman said.

Officials believed the urn contained cremated remains, but police and airport security wanted to check as a safety precaution, Indianapolis International Airport spokeswoman Susan Sullivan said.

Calls seeking comment were left with the TSA.

The evacuation caused up to 500 people to leave two terminals, Sullivan said. It was not immediately clear how many flights were affected because of the evacuation.
