FAA administrator to visit sabotaged Chicago-area communications centre a week after fire

The head of the Federal Aviation Administration will visit a regional control centre sabotaged by a fire that shut down Chicago's two international airports and snarled air traffic nationwide, the agency said Thursday. Administrator Michael P. Huerta will visit the centre in Aurora, Illinois and meet with Illinois' congressional delegation on Friday, a week after a contract employee started a fire in the basement telecommunications room before attempting to commit suicide by slashing his throat.
