That's an interesting one. Per FlightAware it looks like that was the only cancellation out of ANC on Saturday and to your point, other flights departed at around the same time with no issues. The equipment arrived hours earlier from IAH. It's running as an extra section (UAL3028) on Sunday. Nothing on the local news either (which you would expect to see in the event of a widespread airport disruption these days, especially a security-related event).
