The next airplane crash that happens - tonight or six months from now - will have that press conference interspersed into its news coverage.

No flights will leave the ground until you pay my ransom of $30 (boss boy waves up) no $50 billion. I expect that money in unmarked bills in a bag tomorrow morning at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Your move now, Congress.
DUFFY ON GROUND STOP: The president has asked for $30 billion. I want $50 billion. Congress wastes a lot of money. Let's get the money so we never have to come at 830 at night and have a press conference on why air travel was shut down

Really glad that the FAA is concerned about college football teams getting to their games tomorrow by delineating charter flights above commercial.

‘We have 100 year old routers and copper lines running the FAA and by the way all 10,000 of the flights we suddenly had to ground were completely safe’ - Morons.

Sorry, but I can’t take anyone seriously who goes by ‘MarkWayne’ and insists others address them that way.

This is *absolutely* how to handle him. Stay on script. Insist on facts. Give him hell. 👏🏾

CNN’s Pete Muntean: The latest we are hearing now from airlines is that many airports are nearing ground saturation meaning they're running out of gates, space to put all of these airplanes

A ton of general aviation still puttering around, flying visual in uncontrolled airspace, relatively unbothered by the nationwide ground stop.

The fact that these pilots are using back channels and cell phones to safely land 1000’s of flights is amazing. It’s a little terrifying how many flights are active at any given time. This is live (3 hours after ground stop):
CNN: Source says that the outages across the country involve air traffic control radars, as well as radio frequencies simultaneously going out. The controllers do not have any clarity on the cause and exactly what is going on.

Amtrak has now confirmed reports of outgoing outages on both its website and app, likely the result of higher than usual web traffic caused by the nationwide ground stop in the United States.

I saw some earlier posts saying that people weren’t able to use their NOAA devices for WX and AM bands. I checked mine and was able to find multiple live frequencies. Also have seen reports of 911 systems being down but I am not testing that.
