In the midst of a national crisis with the FAA shutting down airports and grounding flights, Trump is busy posting on Truth Social about the film industry. Such leadership 🤦🏻♀️
🇺🇸✈️ Every departing aircraft in the United States is sitting on the tarmac tonight. At 3:53 p.m. Eastern, the FAA's command center issued a nationwide ground stop, an order so rare it has happened only once since September 11, 2001.
The cause is not weather but something far more unsettling: rolling radio frequency outages across multiple air traffic control centers, meaning controllers were losing the ability to talk to the planes above them.
The agency called the circumstances extraordinary and told airlines to hold everything until further notice. One FAA source described the situation as absolutely unheard of. Thousands of flights are now stacking up, and nobody has yet explained why the radios went dark.

Nov 12: Trump’s FAA launches a new AI-based air traffic control system
Nov 13: The FAA announces a nationwide ground stop for only the second time since 9/11, citing significant air traffic control issues
Claiming “everyone’s safe” with thousands of planes still in the air with failing communications is very premature
Aircraft are unable to fully communicate with air traffic control. Many are using the on guard frequency at 121.5 to speak with nearby aircraft and ATC
Maybe next time pick a Sec of Transportation who is not a former Fox News host with zero aviation experience
