A bomb scare on a ferry that caused major disruptions in downtown Sydney was a training exercise gone wrong, an official said Friday.
The transport hub of Circular Quay, between the iconic Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, was shut for two hours Thursday afternoon after the crew of a moored ferry found a suspicious package.

On Thursday, ferry services were cancelled, a nearby street was closed and trains and buses passed through the quay without stopping. Thousands of commuters were disrupted.
