CHICAGO (AP) — About 1,120 flights were canceled Tuesday at Chicago’s two major airports after an electrical problem sent smoke into a regional radar facility’s control room, forcing officials to temporarily halt all air traffic at one of the nation’s busiest aviation hubs.
The Federal Aviation Administration said all personnel were evacuated from the radar facility in suburban Elgin at about 11:30 a.m. They were allowed to return about three hours later.
