Texas airspace 'embarrassment' causing 'chaos' at high levels: 'Lot of blame going around'

The abrupt closure of the airspace over El Paso, Texas, has set off "chaos" and "finger-pointing" at the highest levels of President Donald Trump's administration.

The Federal Aviation Agency announced Wednesday the airspace would be closed for 10 days, only to reverse the decision about eight hours later, and reports have since emerged that the shutdown was enacted because Customs and Border Patrol had been testing a high-energy laser at nearby Fort Bliss against suspected foreign drones that turned out to be party balloons.
