What the reports sayEach newsroom’s own summary of its report, from its feed

The US aviation authority grounded all flights on Nov 13 due to a communications outage.
A rare nationwide ground stop left hundreds of thousands of passengers stranded across the United States, with conflicting information about delays adding to the confusion as travellers scrambled to salvage their plans.
According to the US Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, the shutdown - the second such since the September 11, 2001 attacks - was a precautionary measure after a telecommunications outage.
