The FAA just hit the emergency stop button on the entire U.S. sky

Original version ·

Everything that flies is currently stuck on the tarmac thanks to a mystery tech meltdown.

If you were planning on going anywhere today, you should probably find a comfortable chair and settle in. The FAA officially ordered a nationwide ground stop for every single flight across the country.

Officials are scrambling to figure out why the entire air traffic communication network decided to take a nap at the same time. While everyone is quick to clarify it’s not an attack, the reality is just as annoying: a massive, unexplained telecommunication outage.

Markwayne Mullin and Sean Duffy are busy doing damage control, confirming that Donald Trump is in the loop, but nobody actually knows when the planes will start moving again. It’s a total mess of thousands of delays and cancellations.

Apparently, the most advanced aviation system in the world is currently being held hostage by a software hiccup that no one can explain.
