| 0:00.0 | Today's other headlines begin at Newark's International Airport, where air traffic controllers |
| 0:05.2 | suffered a second radar outage in as many weeks. The FAA says the facility in Philadelphia directing |
| 0:11.4 | planes in and out of Newark went dark for 90 seconds early this morning. That's similar to last |
| 0:17.1 | week's blackout, which led to hundreds of flight delays and cancellations. |
