In this Thursday, Sept. 12, 2013 photo, long lines of passengers wait in Concourse D of Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, in Linthicum, Md., after many flights were either delayed or canceled because of a lightning strike to the airport's air traffic control tower, leading controllers to stop all arrivals and departures at the airport for more than two hours. The lightning strike, which also injured an air traffic controller, is prompting the Federal Aviation Administration to examine hundreds of air traffic control towers nationwide, the agency told The Associated Press. Officials will be looking for problems with the systems that protect the towers from lightning strikes. (AP Photo/The Capital, Paul W. Gillespie)
