Newark Liberty International Airport experienced yet another wave of flight disruptions when air traffic control systems failed. Communication went silent for about an hour, forcing the FAA to reduce incoming flights, leaving travelers frustrated amid the unexpected breakdown.

A misplaced antenna led to a loss of communication between military controllers and an Army Black Hawk helicopter near Reagan National Airport, prompting two commercial planes to perform go-arounds. The incident, caused by a temporary control tower error, highlights potential concerns over air traffic safety.
