Lights' malfunction at airport attributed to computer glitch
Federal investigators have determined that a computer malfunction
stopped runway lights at Miami International Airport from being turned
on for about
half an hour Saturday evening, an FBI spokeswoman said Tuesday.
Airport officials were initially concerned that a hacker caused the
disruption.
''We looked into it and determined it was not a hacker,'' FBI
spokeswoman Judy Orihuela said.
A representative for Siemens Airfield Solutions, which designed the
lighting system, said it was a simple hardware problem in which a touch
screen
wasn't communicating with the main computer.
''The touch screen that turns the lights on was not responding,'' said
Joe Pokoj, director of sales and marketing for Siemens.
The problem occurred at about 8:20 p.m. Saturday, when officials tried
to turn the lights on and the system did not respond.
The runways were closed temporarily until officials turned the lights
on manually by 8:55 p.m.
Aviation officials said only a couple of planes were affected.
