Several individuals at the US military base located in Maryland and housing Air Force One have become unwell following the delivery of a suspicious package, as per various media sources. A structure at Joint Base Andrews was evacuated after an individual exposed white powder upon opening the package, along with political materials described as “propaganda.” Emergency responders swiftly arrived at the scene, determining no immediate danger. However, base officials initiated an investigation, prompting a lockdown as a precautionary measure.
The specific symptoms experienced by the affected individuals at the airbase are not yet disclosed. The package arrival coincided with a recent visit by Donald Trump to the base. The US president frequently utilizes the Marine One helicopter from The White House to reach the military base before departing on Air Force One for international journeys.
Moreover, Joint Base Andrews accommodates the C-130 Hercules aircraft for cargo operations and the KC-135R Stratotanker for refueling purposes. The situation remains dynamic and under examination.
