UPDATE
BREAKING: Transportation Sec. Sean Duffy breaks down exactly what happened, there was “INCONSISTENCY” in the data from the radars and communication with airplanes
“At 3:36PM, we experienced instability from our radar and our communications in our centers and our TRACONs across the country.”
“At that point, we issued a ground stop. We had over 3,500 airplanes in the air — they all engaged.” ??
Duffy says it was NOT a 100% outage of all radar, and the ground stop was an “abundance of caution”
Time to fully modernize ALL OF THIS!
FUND IT, CONGRESS! This is EXACTLY why Duffy has been pushing to rebuild our ancient air traffic control system.
