Radar screens at New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport went black again early Friday morning.
The outage happened at 3:55 a.m. and lasted about 90 seconds, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
Air traffic controllers could be heard telling a FedEx plane that their screens went dark and then asking the aircraft to tell their company to put pressure on to get the problem fixed.
I saw an article saying the controllers were taking time off for trauma from the first incident
That one was during the day IIRC, there were many more planes in the air. This one at least happened overnight, with less traffic.
Yeah but night time and IMC (clouds) is when ATC is needed the most.
