<< In New York, power outages due to equipment problems also disrupted air traffic at LaGuardia airport.>>
Now wait a minute. I thought the one in NY was due to weather problems.
HEZBOLLAH IS TARGETING U.S.
July 19, 2006 -- JERUSALEM - Hezbollah yesterday warned the United States: You're next on our hit list.
The threat against U.S. interests came as the FBI revealed it is searching for Hezbollah terrorist agents operating on American soil.

We also had power outages in SoCal due to heat. I believe what happened here at LAX and other area airports was a combination of losing radar with local power outages. Double whammy.
Don't know about NY though.
