Terminal One at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport had to be evacuated Thursday morning after what airport officials have described as a false alarm.
According to airport officials, the alarm appears to have gone off due to a fault within the infrastructure of the system, and they do not believe anyone pulled the alarm.
Multiple users on social media have shared photos of passengers on the runway.
Airport operations quickly went back to normal.
