  • A new fiber optic cable between Philadelphia and New York is being tested to improve air traffic control at Newark Liberty International Airport

A construction crew in Newark, New Jersey, accidentally cut through a fiber optic cable, causing a significant disruption to the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) communication systems, which led to a temporary halt in flights at Newark Liberty International Airport. The incident occurred on a Wednesday afternoon, and although the cable was quickly repaired, it took several hours for the FAA's systems to fully recover.
