MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Travelers getting ready for their overnight British Air flight were, for the most part, heading back home after news broke that there had been what appears to be a terror attack on Wednesday.
"It does shock us because we're not used to it. There are places that are used to it like Germany and France, but we're not used to it so it is a shock," traveler Michael East told CBS4's Hank Tester while at Miami International Airport (MIA).
"It's just another example of what's going on in the world, you know, what can you do to stop it," said traveler George Uzans.

The scene unfolded around Westminster – in and around the House of Parliament – the center of the U.K.'s government. It was unsettling for those heading back to London.
It appears that the attack was a lone wolf operation.
"So is this something that you just sort of figured out is going to be part of your life for a while," Tester asked another traveler.
"I am sure it will," responded the traveler John Savilla.
"You can't control rogue elements in the world. We all try to contain them as best we can," said traveler Ian McKinsey.
Flights coming in and out of London's Heathrow Airport were not affected due to the attack.
