News on local Fox News Channel 11 reports a power outtage affecting LAX. More as announced.
I prefer a taxi to LAX because they take you straight where you want. Shuttles sometimes stop and pick up other people. My parents have taken a towncar before and it's not much more $ than a cab, either.
If you're coming from west of Ontario, it is getting virtually impossible to get to the airport in anything but bumper-to-bumper traffic any time after 3 p.m. What should be a 45-minute trip from Arcadia turns into a 2-3 hour nightmare. Even with the newly completed 210 freeway extension, the traffic volume is just ridiculous. Although the journey to LAX is more harrowing in the number of freeway changes, going through the downtown spaghetti junction, etc., it is still a much quicker trip. Sad, because Ontario itself is a very civilized little airport.
CyberAnt, ProBush found and posted some info which makes this look like the fifth incident in little over a month:
Post 35
I don't think it's "totally uncalled for and ridiculous" because it appears to be the fifth such incident in little over a month Post 17 and Post 35.
LAX is the world's fifth busiest airport World's Busiest Airports by Passengers.
LOL!
Thanks - wish I could say I wrote it, but I filched it from somewhere. Don't remember where, now.

More sectarian violence in a war zone!
What a sentence....and a statement on modern society....well at least in LALALand...!!!!
Never hit me the other day at all, but I am near 20 miles south east.
Soooooo .. are there any hints that Homeland Security is delving deeper into the backgrounds of all those employees at LAX ..??
These 5 glitches were preceded by a couple of other power outages a few months back - if I remember correctly!
The reason I say that is because I didn't hear or read about any of these problems currently .. but I remember hearing news about other area blackouts.

OK, I admit I have had my AC on 24/7 for weeks now ...
We were down all night last night. Hard to sleep.
"Just kidding."
The FAA has backup generators tied to PCS units which provide seamless power to the center and separate ones for the field radar; I helped install one such unit on Imperial Bl.
The concessions are on their own.
Onedoug, are you near LAX and did you lose power? If you are near the airport and if power was lost, then it is quite a coincidence. This thread was begun one year ago on September 2, 2006.
That's reassuring. :-)
I had airport clearance and controlled the access codes at the time.
The PCS-trained field crew did the actual work.
The Academy in Oklahoma City trains the PCS crews, a six month course.
