„Vor mai exista astfel de pene”. Avertismentul șefului Transporturilor din SUA. De ce cere Congresului 50.000.000.000 de dolari

The U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, warns that air travel will remain less safe without urgent upgrades to the outdated air traffic control system. He requests Congress to allocate $50 billion for a complete overhaul following a recent nationwide grounding of flights. Duffy emphasized that while the U.S. has the safest airspace, similar incidents could recur without necessary funding. The current system is described as incredibly old, leading to data overload and inconsistent information transmission. An investigation is ongoing to determine the cause of the recent failure, which resulted in nearly 10,000 flight cancellations.
