FAA Ordered Own Radar Line to Be Cut at Chicago Airport

The afternoon following a plane-grounding snowstorm in early March, O'Hare International Airport's radar system suddenly went down. It took engineers more than three hours to find out why and fix it.

Scores of planes across the nation were grounded as O'Hare had to significantly cut landings, and numerous flights nationwide were delayed up to six hours.

 

The Federal Aviation Administration, which oversees national radar systems, blamed the March 6 incident on a local telephone company for mistakenly cutting a key communication line during routine maintenance between a radar station in Elgin and O'Hare's main tower.

 

But according to the FAA's own incident report obtained by the Daily Herald, the agency actually ordered that line cut months earlier, and it simply forgot to cancel the order when a switch to a new line failed.
