An experienced air traffic controller retired just days after his radar failed as planes flew into New York airspace, according toThe New York Times.
The fault meant the Philadelphia-based Newark Liberty International Airport controller lost radar imagery for around a minute and a half on Aug. 27 last year, people who were in the control center told the publication.
The issue was reportedly caused by a third-party technician’s mistake, after they accidentally remotely cut a data feed.
