William Petersen in Real Life Bomb Scare at LAX
July 6, 2008 by Jonathan
Gil Grissom knows tough situations. William Petersen, though, isn’t accustomed to being in the airport when a bomb comes into the building. Apparently, while Petersen was at LA International Airport, last Wednesday, a man, Scott Juhun Lee, approached authorities, and told them he was a terrorist. The police arrested the man when he said he had a bomb inside his black bag. The upper and lower roads at the airport were immediately shut down and the LAPD bomb squad examined the black bag. They found only “junk”.
The CSI star probably kept his cool, but gave kudos to the police and fire personnel who handled the scene. In the video linked below, he said they heard the bomb being detonated in the distance. There are lots of loud noises at an airport, though.

Watch the TMZ Video of the guy trying to get William Petersen to say that this was fairly normal in LA, or for actors. Said Petersen, “When I deal with it… it’s pretend.” Well said.
