Ground Stop Hell: Duffy Wants $50 Billion While Officials Still Won't Say the Quiet Part
Thousands of travelers are still stuck in airports Saturday after Friday's nationwide ground stop. FlightAware counted more than 9,100 flights wiped out Friday alone, with another 3,000-plus canceled by Saturday morning. Tens of thousands slept on terminal floors. This was only the third full nationwide ground stop since 9/11 — the second in three years.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stood at the White House podium Friday night and called it an emergency. "This is an emergency," he said. "I want $50 billion." A day earlier he and OMB's Russ Vought had asked for $30.1 billion. The number jumped overnight. Duffy blamed "incredibly old" analog switches, routers, and 1980s copper lines that got overloaded with data and started feeding controllers inconsistent radar and communications. New patches and equipment, he and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said, simply overwhelmed the legacy gear. Mullin added that "nickel and diming it together does not work."
???????? The White House is warning that America's nationwide aviation shutdown COULD HAPPEN AGAIN, after aging air traffic control equipment failed and brought flights across the country to a standstill. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned that outdated systems would continue to fail, telling reporters, "You will have more of these." The warning comes as more than 1.5 MILLION passengers were stranded by the five-hour shutdown today, the worst nationwide aviation disruption since 9/11. More than 8,600 flights were canceled and 7,200 delayed, with thousands more disruptions continuing into the weekend. Duffy is now seeking $50 BILLION in emergency funding to modernize the country's aging aviation infrastructure, while officials insist there is no evidence of a cyberattack. With the Thanksgiving travel rush approaching, Washington is warning that things may not go as smoothly as America is accustomed to. Source: Daily Mail / Writer: Mhedi https://t.co/yKZ39tZaHH
