Federal regulators are now limiting the number of flights in and out of Newark Liberty International Airport. This comes after a harrowing month for the air traffic controllers who work the airspace around it.
On April 28th, communications and radar systems went dark at the air traffic control facility in Philadelphia, where controllers manage the airspace around Newark.
Since then there have been more outages.
Hundreds of flights in and out of Newark have been cancelled or delayed since that first outage. Now the Federal Aviation Administration is slowing the pace of arrivals and departures.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy insists that will help.
Still, these incidents have raised big questions. How did the mess in Newark get as bad as it did? And, What it will take to fix an aging air traffic control system.

The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: Trump is Doing What Neocons Wouldn’t in the Middle East
On today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson,” Hanson says that Trump is promoting security through economic cooperation and criticized the neoconservative legacy of endless wars.
“ What Donald Trump is trying to say is: Let's just not get into politics. Let's not get into offending foreign leaders. … Not to lecture them, but to create economic matrices, nexuses, in which people find that it's in their vested interest to profit rather than to kill people.
“ What he's emphasizing is that there is a common bond in the world. And that common bond is in the heart of everybody. They want peace and they want prosperity and they want security. That's not necessarily antithetical or exclusionary of freedom because, obviously, economic ability—the ability to make money and the ability to be secure—often has an element of what? Freedom.”
