BOSTON - A suspicious package triggered evacuations at Terminal A at Boston Logan International Airport Sunday. 

The Massachusetts State Police reopened the terminal after clearing a suspicious item inside a bag, later determining it was a degraded Playstation console, according to Boston 25 News. 

The outlet reported that the console caused "abnormalities" in the image produced when it was x-rayed.

Videos filmed by Roy Hage outside the airport show emergency vehicles. An alarm sound can be heard.
