The Federal Aviation Administration has ordered a nationwide ground stop due to a communications problem affecting air traffic control centers across the country. The stop, which is only the third of its kind in modern history, has halted departures at every US airport, including LAX, Hollywood Burbank, and other Southern California airports. The cause of the failure is still unknown, but it is being investigated by the FAA. This article was first reported by The South Pasadenan.
