It was alarming news when air traffic controllers directing planes coming and going around one of the nation’s busiest airports repeatedly lost their radar and radio communications, but pilots, independent air safety experts and the Federal Aviation Administration say other redundant systems kept planes from colliding.“I think the risk of a collision or an incident was increased, but not significantly because of the redundancy in the aviation system,” said Jeff Guzzetti, a former accident investigator for the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.Crashes like January’s
usually have different causes — a combination of many things that go wrong, he says.Here’s a look at what happened in Newark — and how key pieces of the safety net protected planeloads of people.
The radar and communications systems that a terminal control team in Philadelphia relies on to direct planes in and out of Newark International Airport simultaneously failed twice in the past month for brief periods. The main line that carries the radar signal from another FAA facility in New York failed, and the backup line didn’t work immediately. The system relies in part on aging copper wires and even when there are fiber optic lines, the signal has to be slowed down when it reaches the facility because the FAA computers are so old they can’t handle all the data at full speed.
As a result, the controllers were suddenly unable to see or communicate with planes coming from or going to Newark for as long as 90 seconds onLai also said the island would be willing to participate in U.S. efforts to reindustrialize and to lead the world in artificial intelligence.
Rep. Bruce Westerman, chair of the House Natural Resources Committee, told Lai that the U.S. produces a lot of food and fiber and is “always looking for more friends to share that with.”Trade and economic ties between Taiwan and the U.S. have grown closer in recent years. The island faces rising pressure from China, which sees the island as part of Chinese territory and vows to annex it, by force if necessary.
Washington is bound by its own laws to provide Taipei with the means to defend itself, and politicians — both Republicans and Democrats — have come to believe it is in the U.S. interest to deter Beijing from attacking Taiwan.Many policymakers and analysts have argued that arming Taiwan includes not only
