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


What the heck are you talking about?

Take your meds.

It was an ATC outage.

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.

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.
