  "account": "US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy questioned L3Harris Technologies on Friday's nationwide FAA outage, speculating whether contractor \"incompetence\" or faulty equipment caused the issue. The outage led to a four-hour ground stop, affecting all air traffic control. L3Harris had previously modified a Qatar-gifted jet that could become President Donald Trump's new Air Force One. The failure occurred during a network upgrade from copper to fiber wiring, causing a router to flood other routers in the system. FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford ruled out a cyberattack and said there was no evidence of nefarious activity or AI involvement.",
  "summary": "US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has blamed contractor L3Harris, the same firm working on Trump’s Qatar jet, for Friday’s FAA ground stop.",
