The FAA issued a rare nationwide ground stop on all departing flights Friday over what officials called a telecommunications outage, delaying flights at major airports, and the White House said there was no indication of a nefarious act. Sources told CBS News an update to the L3Harris-run air traffic control network caused a crash, with more than 10,000 delays and over 2,000 cancellations reported.
