Rome, 22 Sept. (LaPresse/AP) – Flights have resumed in the North-East of the United States following cancellations caused by technical problems at a major air traffic control centre in Philadelphia. The suspension of flights occurred after the backup fibre-optic cable was accidentally severed by workers building a railway line. The faults left air traffic controllers without radar or communications for hours.
