    So weird that this is the only post showing up on Lemmy about the nationwide grounding. I went searching through news communities and nothing.

      I sort by hot, and I have three in the top 10 of all:

      *edit: oops one is about the national weather service. And some instagram news accounts are saying a bunch of other stuff is down, including Bank of America and workday.

      Edit 2.0: the weather service report was updated immediately after I posted to say its a non-issue. So we’ve got that going for us.

      I’m spooked. I know one person who is grounded in Charlotte, and one person who was in the air headed to JFK but the plane diverted to Pittsburgh. A friend of mine works at a medium sized airport and they are unloading the planes and sending everyone home. It’s BAD but we’re not hearing how bad.

        The head of the FAA just came out and said that Trump’s been calling for an update to the systems of the FAA for a year. I’m now betting that this was a false flag.
