disrupt radar altimeters instruments that bounce a radio d beam at the ground to give a hyperaccurate reading of height. pilots call the system essential when they need it most, in poor weather when it s hard to see the runway. this one instrument if it gets bad data, sends it to a collection of other systems, flight krols, auto notless, stick shake, i could go on and on. each of those, if they get bad information in, they are going to do bad things. reporter: in this simulator of a regional airliner, i saw what happened when a radar al tim ter fails. automatic warnings could stop and flight displays give confusing, mismatched readings. right. figure it out. verizon and at&t have now agreed to delay their rollout near certain airports. at&t, which owns cnn s parent company, says airlines and the faa have not utilized the two years they have had to
would cause, although airlines up and down have said this would be a huge issue. let s back up, pete. why is 5g high-speed internet potentially dangerous when it s close to airports? the issue here is the radio spectrum. it s called the c-band. and what happens is the 5g network is so close on that radio frequency spectrum to what are called radar altimeters. sensitive instruments on board commercial airliners, cargo planes, helicopters. particularly important for commercial airliners because it is used, sends a radio beam to the ground and back up to get a hyperaccurate reading of how high the plane is above the ground which is used in critical phases of flight, especially when the plane is very low to the ground when the visibility is the least. so this is a real problem the airlines say. in fact, united s ceo called it the number one safety issue for the airline and that it will not compromise on that. the airlines are warning this could create enormous scheduling
and hyperaccurate, and unfortunately the pros ecutor i not, so she is able to call him out on these generalities that he uses with specific language. she s playing a great role. she is obviously, you know, a compulsive liar and her, the ka are riz ma that she is showing and the victim role that she is playing is just all an act. and i am sure that you worked with internet crimes with the fbi, and what role does the internet and social media and twitter and facebook and youtube, does it play into any of this? well, sure. i think that, you know, you see it most dramatic in situations like what we saw with the young ladies who were attacking that woman where they posted their own violence. it is sort of a way to brag. it is a sort of a way to get everybody to see the accomplishments that they have made and actually fuels the fire of people who want to sort of make a name for themselves.
