NEWARK — Air traffic controllers repeatedly rang the alarm about critical safety issues and faced telecommunications outages affecting Newark Liberty International Airport starting last summer – months before widespread delays and flight cancellations at the airport this week, a CNN review of safety reports, air traffic audio and other records found.One controller wrote in a previously unreported statement in August that only luck had prevented a “catastrophic mid air collision” after a communications breakdown that occurred as multiple planes were routed into the same area to avoid thunderstorms.And several times over the last year, Newark approach controllers lost radar or radio service, leaving them unable to talk with planes they were tracking. “We just lost all frequencies...
