Cut fiber line halts flights at busy East Coast airports
Original: US halts flights at busy East Coast airports, says fiber line cut
US aviation authorities grounded flights at several busy East Coast airports after a fiber optic line was cut, disrupting communications used for air traffic control. The FAA paused departures while crews worked to restore the connection, causing delays at major hubs. Discussion is focused on how a single cable failure could bring air travel to a standstill and on the resilience of critical aviation infrastructure.
Why now: A single cut fiber line disrupted air travel at major East Coast airports, raising concerns about infrastructure fragility.
