The man authorities say is responsible for a fire at an FAA facility is recovering in an Aurora hospital.

Police say the 36-year-old man is from Naperville.

An ATF source tells WGN-TV that the man was a disgruntled employee who was upset because he was being transferred to Hawaii.

According to our ATF source, he went down to the transmission lines in the basement and wrapped them in rags and soaked the rags in gasoline. He started cutting the lines as well. He was not attempting to kill himself, he accidentally cut himself and was burned in the process.

The air traffic control center guides planes after they take off it also ensures that arriving flights, and passing flights, stay far enough apart. The incident has caused thousands of flights at both O’Hare and Midway to be cancelled and delayed.

One employee was treated at the scene for smoke inhalation. No other injuries were reported.

Authorities have not charged the man at this time. They say they have not yet established a motive.

They also do not know when the FAA facility will be open.

This is a developing story. Check back for details.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Lots of reasons to fire this guy. Idiot through and through.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

I'd say he is going to be transferred to Marion, il, right close to home.

That said, do we have a security policy weakness here? Hmmmm?

It is going to affect us a little bit after all. We just boarded at MSP and the pilot says Chicago is still without radar and communications, so we can't fly over and have to go around. Cost us about 15 minutes.

It's a train. What's the difference?

But that FAA can really f*** things up if they can delay a train for no radar. :lol2:

I love you. Not so much your airport.

Uff da! It was so hot in there!

But... first world problems aside, we are home and I slept in my own wonderful bed last night. Now we just had to get our West Coast-timed selves up to go to Muncie to see our kid in a show on campus. Will be fun if I can get enough caffeine in me. .

We had a warm spell the last several days, and they should have had the air conditioning turned on again. It was in the mid 80s here.

I can relate to your time zone woes. Changing to CA time is always easy for us, but changing back to MN time is not so easy.

Wusses. Remember when I used to go back and forth to London every other week? Always mid-week flights too working the next day. (well, Mik was around for that even if you weren't, Brenda)

Besides, Jon is pretty nocturnal. Needs little sleep, unlike me.

Jon doesn't like to admit that. He's a biological freak, and not only because he's left handed.
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

It's true that Jon doesn't need much sleep. He's here at all kinds of odd hours.

Speaking of Hawaii, my pineapple plant had triplets today. It's almost time to move them inside.
