13:17Now PlayingU.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy spoke to reporters outside the White House about air traffic safety.
His remarks come as hundreds of flights were either delayed or canceled between last week and the start of this week at Newark Liberty International Airport due to staffing shortages and communication errors.
The National Air Traffic Controller’s Union (NATCA) told FOX 5 NY that last Monday, they "temporarily lost radar and communications with the aircraft under their control, unable to see, hear or talk to them." The fried piece of copper wire sparked a 90-second radar and communications blackout for workers overseeing the airport's air traffic.
Air traffic controllers in Philadelphia were "so traumatized" by the event that they are now on leave, the union revealed. Their trauma leave can last up to 45 days.
