Somewhat off-topic, it's interesting the article lists LAX as the third busiest airport, when I googled to see what the first two were out of curiosity it was shown right in the search results as the second busiest. That data on google appears to come from the wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_busiest_airports_i... for "Busiest US airports by total passenger boardings". LAX then appears to be listed as fourth busiest in "30 busiest US airports by total passenger traffic". These numbers obviously vary by year and it seems the one google picked up was from preliminary FAA data. No idea why this stuck out to me but for some reason I want to know why the author settled on third busiest here out of the myriad choices.
