Logan Airport

Air traffic control evaporates for 22 taut minutes, plunging Logan Airport into blackout abyss—a coordinated attack's razor incision. Radar screens die mid-blip, tower voices sever abruptly, stranding jets on fog-shrouded tarmacs while terminals trap surging crowds in echoing panic. Departure boards freeze, baggage belts halt, security chokepoints harden; the East Coast powerhouse morphs from transit pulse to paralyzed warzone, fueling Situation Room alarms as vulnerability ripples nationwide.
