Flights delayed across the US after FAA system outage

CNN  

Travelers wait in the terminal after flights were delayed and canceled due to an FAA outage. When air traffic control officials realized they had a computer issue late Tuesday, they came up with a plan: Reboot the system when it would least disrupt air travel Wednesday morning. Ultimately, that plan and the outage led to massive flight delays and an unprecedented order to stop all aircraft departures nationwide, a source familiar with the Federal Aviation Administration operation told CNN. During this process, the FAA told reporters that the system was “beginning to come back online,” but said it would take time to resolve. The system, according to the source, “did come back up, but it wasn’t completely pushing out the pertinent information that it needed for safe flight, and it appeared it was taking longer to do that.” That’s when the FAA issued a nationwide ground stop at around 7:30 a.m.
