A number of airports here in the United States issued the following announcement on social media:
"The FAA has issued a nationwide ground stop for all flights. Travelers should confirm their flight status with their airline before heading to the airport."
The FAA then announced, "There has been a temporary telecommunications outage - out of an abundance of caution all flights have been halted. Every flight has been accounted for and international flights will be handled on a case by case basis."
This would only be the third time in American history such a massive ground stop has happened. It is said to be related to a software issue.
Why this is being mentioned on PWInsider.com is that AEW has Full Gear in Phoenix, Arizona tomorrow while TNA has Destination X on Sunday in Edmonton, Alberta, events that could be impacted depending on when talents were slated to fly into those respective cities.
The Big Event EXS is also promoting a massive wrestling convention tomorrow in Brentwood, Long Island and countless independent events could also be impacted if the situation isn't resolved shortly.
Stay tuned.
