US Secretary of Homeland Security Markway Mullin has declared that authorities are not exempting any possible cause for the problem in the communications system, which led to the suspension of flight launchs throughout the United States.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Mullin indicated that the cause of the break has not yet been determined, while stressing that the authorities’ priority is to ensure passenger safety and restore communications in the air traffic control system.
He acknowledged that authorities have received many questions about the possibility of a terrorist or cyber attack, but stressed that so far there is no evidence confirming any of these scenarios.
We’re getting a lot of calls from people asking: Is this a terrorist attack? Everybody’s safe. No need to worry about your loved ones, Mullin said.
However, he underlined that considering the large number of cyberattacks, even this possibility should be considered during investigations.
As we investigate what caused this, we should consider the possibility of cyberattack, but that is still unknown. Initially we will restore communications and then resume normal operations, he said.
Mullin also stressed that, so far, there is no reason to link the disruption of communications in aviation with the company’s recent technical problems.
In an effort to calm citizens, the US secretary said the current situation does not pose a threat similar to the 11 September 2001.
Meanwhile, authorities are continuing investigations to determine the cause of disruption and to restore normal air traffic functioning.
