Cars are stopped heading into Terminal 3 and 4 at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on Sept. 16, 2018. Terminal 4 was closed due to police activity.

Anyone unlucky enough to be flying in or out of Phoenix on Sunday morning knows that one parked car near Terminal 4 at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport resulted in hours of delays and confusion.

Parts of Terminal 4 were shut down and hundreds of flights were delayed or cancelled.

Phoenix police determined the car was not a danger, but many passengers were left with missed connections and delayed travel plans.

The Show was joined by Sgt. Tommy Thompson with the Phoenix Police Department to talk about this hectic scene.
