Radar screens become dark at Newark Airport (again)

Radar screens watching the New Ark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey is completely black for about 90 seconds early Friday morning, according to a new report from ABC News. The power outage comes after an identical problem last week when air traffic control screens for the same airport became dark for 60-90 seconds.

The radar interruption occurred to Niger on Friday at 3:55 am, FAA GIA GIADOO told e -mail. Newark air traffic control is treated in Philadelphia, where the actual screen was interrupted.

“There has been a distance that has affected communications and the display of radar in the Philadelphia Triacon area, which heads inside and outside the airspace of the international airport in Newark Liberty,” the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. According to what was reported, a special plane was informed of the stay at 3000 feet or above during the accident to avoid any possible collisions, according to ABC.

Newark was afflicted with problems recently, including delay and terrifying interruption. When the screens went black April 28 The scene was so horrific that half of the decorations of air traffic monitors had asked for mental health support. It will allow them to “shock leave” to take a break from work to up to up to 45 days.

Transport Minister Sean Dove a press conference On Thursday, a warning that air traffic control systems need to be promoted. He realized that Newark was a bad condition, just one day before the morning interruption. Duffy said on Thursday: “If we do not accomplish the task that we announce today, you will see Newx, and not only in Newark, you will see Newx in other parts of the country because it is an aging system.”

Duffy’s press conference was very strange and opened with the Minister of Transport, who invites President Donald Trump, put it on the loudspeaker, and raised the phone to the microphone. Dofi said he wanted to build six new centers for air traffic control centers and replace old equipment, noting that his systems still use copper wires instead of “we use the radar from the seventies. Some of them are from the eighties, but most of them are from the 1970s,” Dove stressed.

Duffy indicated that there were “contracts for neglect” of the US air traffic infrastructure, with a “mixture of repairs” and “partial financing”. Although this is true, it costs real money to upgrade the entire systems, which was not provided by the former reality TV host, with the indication that he will cost “billions”. Duffy will need to demand Congress to invest in air traffic control systems, which may be difficult in a political scene where Republicans only want to reduce funding for basic services.

Duffy himself in Congress was as a representative of Wisconsin during “Neglect Contracts”, and it appears at least that he accepted some blame with a smile on his face. “You can blame me for it, you are in Congress as well.”

It turns out that it is much easier to obstruct the important infrastructure funding for America instead of mobilizing spending on it. So we will see if Duffy and his friend Trump can get some dangerous money.
