The flight he was trying to board was to a destination outside the US.

In a shocking incident, Hawaii Airport in the United States was evacuated after grenades were found in a carry-on luggage of a man, as per a report in CBS News. The Transportation Security Administration said that they found two items resembling grenades were detected during x-ray screening in a bag belonging to a male Japanese national departing the country.

On Tuesday, officers emptied the terminal as the bomb squad investigated the suspicious items discovered during X-ray scanning. The police said, “The Hilo International Airport experienced a brief halt in operations” for a little over an hour.

According to police, the bomb squad “determined the items to be inert grenades,” meaning they posed no threat. As per the authorities, Akito Fukushima, of Kanazawa, Japan, was taken into custody on a charge of first-degree terroristic threats.

“Responding to the 5:44 a.m. call, officers secured and evacuated the terminal area as a precautionary safety measure while the department’s bomb squad arrived on scene and determined the items to be inert grenades. At 6:45 a.m., police arrested 41-year-old Akito Fukushima of Kanazawa, Japan, for first-degree terroristic threatening. Fukushima was transported to HPD’s East Hawaii Detention Facility and remains in custody while Detectives of the Area I Criminal Investigation Section continue the investigation. The airport resumed operations at 6:50 a.m,” the Hawaii Police Department in a press release.

The flight he was trying to board was to a destination outside the US, police noted, however, they didn’t say which country it was heading to or what his ultimate destination was. “Police remind the public that replicas of explosives, such as hand grenades, are prohibited in checked and carry-on baggage,” they said.

While the front of the plane lifted up, the tail stayed on the ground.

Shocking images and videos have captured the moment a JetBlue plane tipped back onto its tail Sunday night at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City. Notably, the incident occurred when JetBlue Flight 662 had just landed from Barbados around 8:30 p.m. local time and passengers were in the process of disembarking, New York Post reported. 

Visuals going viral on social media showed the front wheels of the plane, which had just arrived from Barbados, rising into the air.  While the front of the plane lifted up, the tail stayed on the ground.

Here’s the video:

”It felt like the plane was about to do a backflip. Everybody kind of screamed and was grabbing for seats. Anybody who was standing was grabbing for seats,” passenger Sinead Bovell told CBS News. According to Bovell, the plane and jet bridge were damaged. 

”On Sunday, October 22, JetBlue flight 662 landed as scheduled at New York’s JFK Airport from Bridgetown, Barbados. Once at the gate, due to a shift in weight and balance during deplaning, the tail of the aircraft tipped backward causing the nose of the aircraft to lift up and eventually return back down,”  JetBlue spokesman Derek Dombrowski told PEOPLE in a statement

”No injuries were reported. Safety is JetBlue’s first priority; we are reviewing this incident, and the aircraft has been taken out of service for inspection,” the statement continued. 

Ed Libassi, the CEO of A&P Aircraft Maintenance, Inc. explained what he thinks might have caused the plane to tilt.

”Now the situation that JetBlue had yesterday, I’ve seen it in my 51-year career — too much baggage was left in the air cargo compartment. Maybe all of the people had gotten off already, or maybe everything up front was taken off quickly — everything from baggage to fuel in the wings while they flew from Barbados,” Mr Libassi said.
