Ten days after an equipment malfunction left about a dozen planes flying blind for 90 seconds in the crowded skies over New Jersey, worried pilots and air traffic controllers are imploring the Federal Aviation Administration to fix the system’s aging infrastructure.
The “shell-shocked” controllers who guide planes in and out of Newark Liberty International Airport work in constant fear of radar systems’ going down or losing radio contact with pilots as they’re approaching one of the busiest airports in the country, a recently retired controller told NBC News.
Both of those failures happened at once on April 28.
I’m not going to get in a jet unless I absolutely fucking have to for a few years
It hasn’t been appealing in a while. Long lines, invasive security, privacy violations, high ticket prices, getting stuck on the tarmac, CBP aggression, and now the people responsible for keeping planes from colliding are not able to do their job.
I’ve already asked my boss who does not fly, if I have to travel can I drive myself. Because nope, nope, nope.
Look at all this efficiency!
Trump is going to start racking up the body count quickly.
Donald Trump doesn’t care about black people!
I wish they would stop advertising this, nothing better than having fElon or Diaper Donnie nosedive into the ground thanks to their own doing. No need to warn them that frequently.
I feel like the rest of us should know about it, though.
Yikes, forgetting the /s on !news is pretty punishing!
To all you sensitive little American snowflakes:
Yes, lots of “regular” people will now have to die for these idiots to also be unalived. So sorry for the discomfort. Rest in peace knowing the world will be very grateful for your sacrifice.
What’s wrong with you? You have a 2nd amendment to fck shit up when shit gets real, but you only want to use it for school shootings?
You’re disturbingly religious to the point there is NO separation of church and state and create an entire political cult out of it, yet the whole “Jesus dying for our sins” seems too far fetched to get rid of these corrosive assholes?
We’re at a very simple point in history, which only Luigi has understood so far: as long as you keep this corrosive class of white wealthy fuckheads alive you are complicit in the destruction not just your country but our entire world.
So you know what to do. “I aint doin shit” and press the downvote button.
You rambo toughies are only tough when it’s convenient hey?
