Olathe Air-Traffic Center Hit By 70 Minute Computer Outage
Air-traffic control centers across the nation face outages that curb safety for millions of travelers. The Olathe Kansas regional center suffered a 70 minute main computer failure on August 5 forcing reliance on an inadequate backup system while maintenance was planned for that evening. The incident left the center with no backup radar, drawing comments on system modernization delays as FAA slowly replaces 1960s equipment amid a traffic volume that hits about 6,700 flights daily over 190,000 square miles.

UN Refugee Repatriation Effort Deemed A Flop In Goma
U N officials in Goma admit the voluntary repatriation program for refugees from Rwanda and Burundi is failing as about 173,000 frightened people fled last week after Zaire backed expulsion threats. Joel Boutroue called the effort a flop, noting fear of extremism in camps hinders returns. Most refugees are Hutu victims of Rwanda's civil war.
