AURORA, Ill.
The head of the Federal Aviation Administration and lawmakers toured a sabotaged Chicago-area air traffic facility on Friday, saying they were shocked by the extent of damage and calling for a more sophisticated backup system in the event of future trouble.
FAA Administrator Michael Huerta and members of Illinois' congressional delegation spoke to reporters after observing the damage and the recovery efforts at the facility in Aurora. Authorities say a contract employee armed with knives cut through cables and used gasoline to set fire to a basement telecommunications room on Sept. 26, destroying equipment that forced the shutdown of Chicago's two airports and led to the cancellation of thousands of flights.
"It was an incredible act of sabotage," U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin said after the tour, which was closed to journalists. He said in one area of the telecommunications roof there was nothing left but "a charred mass of black cables."
The FAA has said it hopes to have the center's communications system operational by Oct. 13. More than 10 miles of cables need to be replaced. In the meantime, other air traffic facilities have taken over the center's responsibilities.
Responding to calls from lawmakers, the agency is carrying out a 30-day review of security procedures and "ways to more quickly restore service" in the event of future outages, Huerta said.
As an intermediate step, the security presence at critical facilities has been increased and patrols have been stepped up, he said.
Durbin, along with U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk and U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, said the FAA needs a better backup system to ensure planes can keep flying safely in the event of future trouble and more money from Congress to make sure it gets done.
"In the case of the private sector, you need continuous operations no matter what," Kirk said. "The government can sometimes go through a full cardiac arrest, like we had here."
The FAA is in the midst of transitioning from a 1950s-era radar-based system to one based on GPS. Known as NextGen, the FAA's more modern satellite-based program should enable more seamless operations. But it is years from being fully rolled out.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -
A day after 12 jurors convicted Michael Dunn of first-degree murder for shooting and killing 17-year-old Jordan Davis, high-profile defense attorney Mark O'Mara weighed in on the outcome.
O'Mara, who's best known for defending George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin, said he thinks the prosecution and the defense did a better job this time in the retrial, but ultimately it was the state that sealed the deal on Dunn.
"Certainly I respect the jury's verdict," O'Mara said. "I am a bit surprised with the first-degree murder conviction. I think this is a second-degree murder event, which is the emotions that lead to the killing."
O'Mara watched both Dunn trials very closely, noting there were similarities to when he defended Zimmerman. But Zimmerman was acquitted of shooting and killing the unarmed Martin.
It's a different outcome for Dunn, who will likely spend the rest of his life in prison.
"This jury did their job," O'Mara said. "They looked at it very closely, and I think what happened is they saw some arrogance in Michael Dunn. They saw lack of remorse in Michael Dunn, and that, I think, informed their decision as to whether or not he was acting in fear or out of anger or hatred."
O'Mara pointed out that Dunn never apologized for killing Davis.
"Dunn should have acknowledged that he took a life and that he was very sorry for that," O'Mara said. "Failing to do that left him unsympathetic."
O'Mara believes the testimony from Dunn's former fiancee, Rhonda Rouer, also contributed to the guilty verdict. Dunn testified that he told Rouer that night that the teens had a gun and that Davis threatened him. But Rouer denied it on the stand.
