SEA-TAC INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT -- The shooting at the Los Angeles airport Friday had a ripple effect on airports around the country, including at Sea-Tac, where dozens of flights arrive and depart every day.
"Any flights headed to LAX will be held on the ground here until they get the OK that they can have a place to land, a place to park once they get to L.A.," said Perry Cooper, spokesman for Sea-Tac. It took a few hours before the mandatory grounding was lifted.
Lillian Myer was on one of the last flights to leave Los Angeles for Seattle, when the news came that a gunman opened fire on TSA agents in the LAX terminal. Her flight made it to Seattle on time.
