As of thirty-ish minutes ago ALL commercial air traffic in the US is grounded until further notice.

Anyone got any idea what’s going on? There are very free details about the situation I can find online right now.

    Part of the problem is that the flight control system is fully owned and operated by the FAA and the agency has issues implementing a multi-year modernization program. It would likely work a lot better if the modernization program was run through the municipal airports.
