Departing aircraft were ordered to stay on the ground across the United States, Fox News reports, after the FAA issued a nationwide ground stop citing "extraordinary circumstances" and safety reasons.
Will Cain interrupts his show for the alert, then hands over to correspondent Jonathan Hunt, who reads from the advisory sent to air traffic controllers and operators. The immediate instruction is to keep departures grounded while controllers manage aircraft already in the air that need to land.
The report offers one preliminary indication of what might be wrong. Hunt says fellow correspondent Grady Trimble was aboard a flight preparing to take off when its pilot mentioned possible communications issues. That is not a confirmed explanation for the nationwide order.
Posted today, the update has drawn about 966,000 views in its first three hours. Its central distinction matters for travelers: a ground stop holds departing flights; it does not mean aircraft already flying simply stop operating.
Hunt describes the order as only the second nationwide ground stop for all aircraft since September 11, identifying the previous occurrence as 2023. In a separate follow-up posted by Fox News, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin tells reporters there is no reason for the American public to be afraid.
