Newark airport lapses make U.S. flyers wonder, are we safe?
But our air safety system is faltering on more than one front. In late April, the Newark airport — one of the busiest in the country — experienced a radio and radar outage for about 90 seconds. With pilots dependent on air traffic controllers to navigate the busy airspace near airports, seconds of silence could be fatal.
Sunday's incident marks the fourth time in the past two weeks that technical problems have disrupted air traffic at Newark.
