The 3 times nationwide ground stops have been issued
NewsNation reports that the FAA issued a nationwide ground stop Friday — only the third in modern history — blaming a telecommunications outage that affected all Air Route Traffic Control Centers, with Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin not ruling out a cyberattack. The article recounts the two earlier stops: the January 2023 NOTAM computer outage that lasted about 90 minutes, and the nearly two-day closure of U.S. airspace after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
