That's another two weeks! Assuming there's a (even slightly) elevated risk of accident, for it to go on that long seems to be risky, I'd think.
Is it an example that the gov will never do something dramatic when the situation demands it? Like landing planes at Air Force facilities nearby?...or something to assure safety.
TODAY AURORA, Ill. (AP) — A suburban Chicago air traffic center reopened early Monday, more than two weeks after damage from a deliberately set fire forced the cancellation of thousands of flights and disrupted travel nationwide, federal officials said.
A full shift of air traffic controllers at the Chicago En Route Center in Aurora resumed control of the center’s airspace from adjoining centers between midnight and 1 a.m. on Monday, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a news release.
