A 2-year-old boy at Newark Liberty International Airport climbed onto a baggage conveyor belt while his mother was distracted. He was swept away, eventually ending up near an X-ray machine. Port Authority officers promptly intervened, finding the child unharmed. This incident adds to concerns over safety at Newark, which has faced issues like cancellations and delays, prompting warnings from air traffic personnel about the airport's current safety and operational state. Despite this, the boy and his family proceeded with their vacation plans afterward.
"The two cops were able to move fast into the system, which was vital... One officer went toward one direction, one toward the other direction."
"Newark Airport has been described as a 'delay-plagued hellhole' for a slew of problems, including unprecedented backups on the tarmac and a glut of cancellations."
