Experts weigh in after RPS cybersecurity attack - WWBT
The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a nationwide ground stop at all U.S. airports, leaving travelers stranded and confused about their flight statuses.
Passengers at Richmond International Airport (RIC) and other airports across the country have been lining up trying to figure out when, or even if, they'll be flying out anytime soon. The FAA's ground stop order has effectively halted all air travel in the United States, creating widespread confusion and delays.
Airport Response
Airport officials are working to accommodate stranded passengers, though the situation remains dynamic. The ground stop, issued sixteen hours ago, has not yet been lifted, leaving travelers in limbo as they seek information about their flights.
Broader Impact
The nationwide disruption comes amid other local incidents including a water crisis in Crewe and a deadly shooting in Richmond. Meanwhile, the Richmond Marathon will proceed with a modified downhill finish this year, though the hill has been shortened.
