Thousands of flights across the densely populated Northeast were delayed or canceled due to a circuit failure at a Philadelphia air traffic facility and the accidental cutting of a fiber-optic cable near New Brunswick, New Jersey by a construction crew.
“The architecture of our telecom is still a 40-year-old architecture, which means you could have a switch go down and a line be cut yesterday and the Northeast goes down.”
