Thousands of flights across the United States have been canceled or delayed following a nationwide ground stop implemented by the Federal Aviation Administration on Friday. The disruption has continued into Saturday, causing widespread travel chaos.
The FAA attributed the initial ground stop to an "equipment issue" that occurred during a telecoms network upgrade. Reports indicate that contractor L3Harris is being blamed by some for the problem. Authorities have stated there is no indication of a cyberattack.
The extensive travel disruptions have particularly impacted the sports world, creating chaos for weekend games. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
