Photos show trouble at airports nationwide as FAA grounds all flights

Detailed summary

Passengers are being deplaned and flights are delayed after the FAA grounded all planes nationwide because of "extraordinary circumstances."

It's a bad night to be traveling. Passengers are being deplaned, and flights are delayed after the FAA grounded every flight nationwide because of what it called "extraordinary circumstances." Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the ground stop was ordered because of a "communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers." Officials have not yet said what caused the communication issue. As the ground stop became a multi-hour ordeal, passengers have begun to crowd boarding areas, have been asked to leave flights, and are scrambling to find their luggage.
