| The ground stop has been extended to 8pm. That is a long time for no flights in and out of three busy airports. I’m stuck at Logan. No idea if I will get home tonight. |

Normal people who travel for work? People who are moving? People who vacation? |

I was picking up a kid at 495 and Georgetown Pike at about 6:30 - there was a guy on the side of the road looking up in the air with his phone to zoom in on. It was really strange. |

Try again. To shut down air space for THAT many hours? Not talking about "regular" people flying, um, okay?! |
