Résumé détaillé

Actors Tyriq Withers and Daniel Kaluuya were stuck at an Oregon airport during Friday’s nationwide FAA ground stop.

Actors Tyriq Withers and Daniel Kaluuya were among those caught up in the nationwide FAA ground stop on Friday. The two were stranded at Oregon’s Eugene Airport while travelling back to Los Angeles after their flight was grounded.

The FAA issued a nationwide ground stop for four hours on Friday, which led to thousands of cancelled flights.

On Saturday morning, Duffy wrote on X, “Operations are slowly returning to normal this morning. Planes are pushing back, taxiing, and taking off, and it is safe to fly. We are in close coordination with the airlines to support the ongoing recovery.”

Even celebrities got caught up in the FAA nationwide ground stop on Friday. Actors Tyriq Withers and Daniel Kaluuya were among the passengers stranded at the Eugene Airport in Oregon on November 13.

The two actors spoke to Eugene TV station KVAL at the airport. They told the channel they were headed back to Los Angeles and had boarded the plane before the grounding. As per Entertainment Weekly, they were forced to get off the plane. The ground stop lasted about four hours and was lifted around 5:15pm.

Withers joked about a viral meme while thanking the FAA for putting passenger safety first. “I just want to thank God for FAA really protecting us, post-blue wave as well,” Withers quipped. “But I really feel like, you know, it’s really upsetting me and my homegirl. ’Cause if you can’t go to the airport, where the hell can you go?”

According to Entertainment Weekly, Withers seemed to be referring to the Democrats’ big midterm wins on November 3. His words were also a recreation of a viral 2015 news interview with a partygoer outside the now-shuttered Bella Noche nightclub in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Kaluuya laughed at the moment.

Kaluuya then thanked the FAA and airline workers who were trying to fix the issue and keep passengers safe.
