The Independent reports that Donald Trump blamed Joe Biden for the air traffic control outage that grounded U.S. flights, writing in a Truth Social post that the Biden administration was 'an FAA disaster' and that a 50-year-old system was set back years. His comments came nearly 48 hours after the outage stranded thousands of travelers and forced more than 6,000 cancellations before officials ended the ground stop; Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said work by contractor L3Harris on new fiber wire apparently caused the overload, and officials are investigating contractor 'incompetence' or a faulty router.
