Moderating:

Please be mindful that this is a Breaking News thread, meaning that only new developments in the situation belong here. For general discussion, there’s a new thread started here:

> [@FAA issues nationwide ground stop due to "extraordinary circumstances"](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/faa-issues-nationwide-ground-stop-due-to-extraordinary-circumstances/1034989):
>
> This is only the second time since 9-11 that this has happened, and the explanation of “extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety” does not instill me with confidence that this is not something really, really bad. That said, I want to stay away from a lot of places online with conspiracy theorists going insane. Maybe this thread can be a repository for actual factual information about this.

Thanks.
