The US air traffic control system has failed due to an attempt to renew the aging infrastructure - the US Secretary of Transportation.
According to Sean Duffy, the attempt to introduce modern technology burdened an "incredibly antiquated system".
At the time of the failure, inconsistent information began to flow from the radars. There was "instability in communication and radar centers and towers throughout the country."
The head of the department called on Congress to allocate $50 billion to update infrastructure.
