A terminal at the Port of Charleston in South Carolina will reopen and the safety zone has been lifted, the U.S. Coast Guard said on Thursday, after investigating a threat of a “dirty bomb” on a container ship.
It said the “original reporting source of the threat” had been detained for questioning.
Law enforcement agents scanned four containers aboard the Maersk Memphis ship in the Wando Terminal after reports of a “potential threat” on Wednesday, the Coast Guard said.
Maersk Line, the world’s biggest container shipping company, said the U.S. Coast Guard had informed it of a threat of a dirty bomb aboard one of its vessels. It said all crew members were safe and ashore.
“Unified Command determines no existing threat to the port. Terminal will reopen and safety zone has been lifted,” the U.S. Coast Guard said on Twitter.
The Maersk Memphis, a 300-meter vessel, arrived in South Carolina from New York at about 7:30 p.m, according to Reuters data. About half an hour later, authorities were made aware of the potential threat and evacuated the terminal, the Coast Guard said.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekr5cw2WAbU this is where this shit began. Total lies from these asshats. There are helping in the push to control independent researchers. Making all independent media look bad.
Absolutely, Spike. They’re helping to choke off anything other than the state sponsored propaganda and we both know it will work, especially on jootube. That’s their goal but they have to at least make it appear legitimate to the idiots.
“Terminal will reopen and safety zone has been lifted,”
Commerce WILL continue.
