Veteran Newark Air Traffic Controller Quit After Scary Radar Incident

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.
