US Flights Cancelled | "This Isn't another 9/11": DHS Secy Mullin After Flights Grounded Nationwide

US Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin sought to dismiss fears of a 9/11-like security threat after the FAA grounded all flights nationwide over a telecommunications outage. Mullin assured Americans that the disruption did not pose a safety threat or signal another September 11-style attack. The nationwide ground stop ended Friday evening, with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blaming outdated technology. However, thousands of flight cancellations and delays continued to disrupt travel across the United States.
