Any DLers travel through the air traffic control mess at Newark this last week? What's going on?
On April 28 in Philadelphia, an air traffic controller began shouting that he had lost his radar feed for planes flying in and out of Newark Liberty International Airport.
Some of his colleagues still had radar but their radios went dead, prompting frantic calls to their counterparts in New York urging them to keep their planes away from Newark’s airspace.
Then, for 30 harrowing seconds until the radios came back, there was nothing more to do but hope — as they had no means of telling pilots how to avoid crashing their planes into one another.

Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol.

I have a trip to Iceland planned later in the year, and after these reports I'm going through Chicago.

Trump of course blames Biden and Buttigieg.
But this never happened under Biden
