National Air Traffic Controllers Association representative Dan McCabe insisted Thursday that the Super Bowl will be kept safe despite the current government shutdown.
In an interview with Dareh Gregorian of NBC News, McCabe said: "When we work on something as big as the Super Bowl—the biggest spectator event in the country—it takes us a lot of time to plan on extra airplanes and traffic. We're going to keep the event safe, but we want it to be an enjoyable event for everybody. It's frustrating that I know it won't be as good as it could be.
