BWI airport suffers temporary power outage, officials say

Power went out for a time Saturday at BWI Marshall Airport, stranding passengers on grounded airplanes and in the terminal. The air traffic control tower was “briefly evacuated,” a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration said. A power outage occurred about 5:30 p.m. and “impacted” the airport, a BWI spokesman said. He said power was “fully restored” about two hours later.
