Traficul pe aeroporturile de pe Coasta de Est a SUA, paralizat, după ce un cablu de fibră optică a fost tăiat accidental o echipă de muncitori în construcții

Air traffic on the East Coast of the U.S. was disrupted after a construction crew accidentally cut a fiber optic cable, leading to the FAA suspending operations. This incident caused delays for over 1,000 flights, particularly affecting major airports in New York, Philadelphia, and Boston. The FAA's administrator noted that a backup circuit also failed, complicating the situation. The disruption coincided with the arrival of global leaders for the UN General Assembly. The FAA is cautious about resuming flights until airspace safety is ensured, highlighting the outdated air traffic control system that Congress allocated $12.5 billion to modernize last year.
