@american.news.67: FAA Orders Rare Nationwide Ground Stop, Leaving Passengers Stuck on Planes for Hours The FAA halted departing flights across the country, citing “extraordinary circumstances” and safety concerns after a telecommunications outage affected air traffic control centers. Some passengers were stuck on the tarmac for hours because airports ran out of gate space. Officials said there is no indication so far that the outage was a cyberattack, though the investigation continues. It is only the second nationwide ground stop since September 11, 2001. #unitedstatesofamerica #usnews #breakingnews
