Investigators from the NTSB arrived at Newark Liberty International Airport on Monday after a near catastrophe over the weekend.

Air traffic control problems continued at Newark Liberty International Airport on Sunday morning after an equipment issue prompted the Federal Aviation Administration to order a 45-minute ground stop at the New Jersey airport, officials said.

The brief outage happened at 3:55 a.m.
