00:00And I had a question for you. Since it is a bomb threat, we're going to take him by Juliet,
00:05Juliet in that spot, correct?
00:08So the aircraft is eight minutes out.
00:12Did you guys want to have an escort to take him over to the box there by Juliet, Juliet, or
00:18do you want me to give him taxi instruction?
00:19What you just heard was an exit of communications between Miami International Airport-controlled Tawant Flight Caribbean 790,
00:27a cargo plane which was en route to Miami from Port of Spain, when it reported a bomb threat.
00:34Caribbean 790, Miami Tower, runway 9, and put a land.
00:37Put a land runway 9, Caribbean 790.
00:39So you'll shut down, and then they're going to check out the aircraft.
00:44Stand by a second. I have all the rammed vehicles on the frequency and fire commander and equipment.
00:48There's a 790. Go ahead.
00:51All right, we're second in command on this one, so be taking charge.
00:55We're just helping them out.
00:56They will be sniffing the aircraft the second you want, so you'll see them walking around.
01:00We're going to try to get up to you guys here in a second.
01:02We'll try to help you with it.
01:04All right, no, sir. We're good, and we're standing by. Thank you.
01:08The incident occurred on March 6th, and the aviation communication log was uploaded to VAS Aviation's official YouTube channel.
01:17However, no report was uploaded as to the outcome.
01:20This incident is the latest in what appears to be a string of bomb threats reported over the last several
01:27days,
01:27with the TTPS being called to a report of a bomb threat last Friday on Park Street in Port of
01:34Spain,
01:34mere days after a threat against the Sandy Grandi police station prompted police to cordon off the area for several
01:42days.
01:43TV6 News pressed Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander for further details.
01:48Listen, the bomb threat is being investigated, right?
01:52All the bomb threats you see you're talking about, right?
01:55There's a level of intelligence involved, so we want to keep it that way.
01:58How many have been reported thus far for the year?
02:01You know, it's a normal thing. Some people just get on their phone and make threats.
02:04There was one that was existing, you know that, at Rio Claro. You remember that?
02:08In the school.
02:09The Rio Claro school bomb threat first surfaced in November via social media,
02:14when someone accused teachers of being racist.
02:18In January, Alexander stated that an arrest would be imminent.
02:22However, to date, there has been no word of an arrest in relation to that incident or the subsequent threats.
02:29We realize what is rolling out here, you know, and intelligence is helping us tremendously,
02:34both local, regional and international.
02:38Under the Anti-Terrorism Act, a person commits an offense if he communicates any information which he knows to be

02:52or a lethal device or weapon of mass destruction is likely to be present.
