Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

  1. 1:23Federal officials discuss outdated air traffic control equipment, with Sean Duffy calling for emergency funding.
  2. 2:18Alys Martinez reports continuing delays, cancellations and passenger backlogs at LAX after the ground stop lifts.
  3. 3:46Kim Pacis describes an overnight LAX wait and a canceled Australia flight, with rebooking for Monday.
  4. 6:05Patti Kalaydjian explains replacing a flight with a five-hour drive to Las Vegas.
  5. 7:03Retired pilot Doug Rice explains that aircraft could still land, unlike during the September 11 shutdown.

Patti Kalaydjian's alternative to waiting at the airport was to take the road to Las Vegas. For Kim Pacis, trying to reach Australia from , there was no such simple substitute.

Pacis describes waiting at the gate and spending the night at the airport before her flight was canceled. "And then now my flight is booked for Monday," she tells CBS LA.

The nationwide ground stop had been lifted, but reporter Alys Martinez finds delays, cancellations and passenger backlogs still disrupting journeys at LAX. The report also visits , where travelers face long waits and decisions about whether to abandon flying altogether. Kalaydjian accepts the change of plans as a safety precaution.

The coverage has drawn about 34,000 views in its first 12 hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for regular videos. A separate CBS LA report, "Southern California travelers left stranded after nationwide ground stop," also drew an unusually large audience.

Retired pilot Doug Rice supplies an important distinction in the main report: unlike the more severe shutdown he experienced while airborne on September 11, aircraft in this disruption were still allowed to land at their destinations.
