What's behind the major delays at Newark's airport

Season 2025 Episode 126 | 5m 52s

Newark Airport continues to be marred by cancelled flights and delays. The problems are front and center after a technical failure caused widespread disruption last week. Air traffic controllers who were in the thick of it have taken leave to recover from "traumatic stress," compounding a massive staffing shortage. Geoff Bennett discussed more with aviation correspondent Miles O'Brien.
