If anyone is waiting at the airport I strongly suggest either going back home if you’re close or getting a hotel if you can. This isn’t going to be fixed anytime soon, waiting won’t get you onto your flight

Dude they called a ground stop out of safety concerns not because planes were on the verge of falling out of the sky. You’re scared of something because you don’t understand it

Statistically speaking, planes are THE safest way to travel. Safer than cars, safer than trains, safer than ships. Decisions made out of an abundance of caution, like what happened today, is part of why.
