Rare nationwide ground stop ordered at airports over communication issues: FAA
The FAA ordered a rare nationwide ground stop Friday over a communication issue affecting all 22 Air Route Traffic Control Centers, only the second such stop since September 11, 2001. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said technicians are investigating, while DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said there was no indication of a "nefarious" act and the government will look into the root of the problem.
