Ground Stop Fix Will 'Take Some Time,' Mullin Says

Secretary of Homeland Security Mark Wayne Mullen declared a nationwide ground stop caused by a severe telecommunication outage while confirming that no nefarious acts or 9/11-like attacks are currently indicated. An all-of-government investigation involving the FAA, CISA, and the White House is actively examining causes ranging from routine technical failures to potential cyber intrusions or AI errors linked to new traffic control systems. Although flights currently in the air remain authorized to land, officials warn that resolving the crisis and restoring full communications will require significant time beyond the initially circulating estimates.
