Bryan Llenas reports from LaGuardia Airport during a nationwide grounding. He describes Terminal B, where American Airlines is the main airline, and speaks with Rosa, a Frontier Airlines passenger whose flight to Charlotte has been delayed. Rosa says she has no information beyond being told to wait, and she plans to sleep at the airport rather than leave for a hotel. Bryan Llenas also mentions Canadian travellers whose flight to Toronto was cancelled and who were rebooked for Tuesday, and he notes that one of them is a diabetic who does not have his insulin medication.

LaGuardia disruption

Bryan Llenas says the airport has over 260 cancellations and over 600 delays. He says the situation is not as crowded as he has seen in the past at that terminal, but other terminals are experiencing complete blank out cancellations. He says people are checking boards, making backup plans and considering hotels, buses, subway and train options in New York City. He says the mood is calm, while many flights are delayed for four to five hours and there is still hope that some flights will depart that night.

Nashville and Hartsfield

Mark Thiessen reports from Nashville International Airport, where he says people are lining up to rebook with Southwest Airlines and the airport bars are full. He says the FAA and the Homeland Security Secretary say the issue does not look nefarious, and that it is being called a telecommunications issue. He also says there have only been two of these since 9/11, and that he is waiting with a bar seat because his flight has not been cancelled. Adam Klotz reports from Hartsfield Jackson International Airport, where he is trying to reach Tucson for a college football broadcast. He speaks with Detroit Lions fans travelling to Munich for a game against the Patriots. He says an Amsterdam flight was announced for boarding in the lounge, and one fan says he expects to make the flight.

Los Angeles and Portland

A Fox News correspondent reports from Los Angeles International Airport near United departures. She says the area outside security is quiet, while people who came back out of the terminals describe chaos inside, with airline clubs full and people trying to book hotels and cars. She says passengers are confused and ask how long the disruption will last. She mentions a woman trying to return to St Louis after three days in Los Angeles, and says nearby hotels have risen from about 300 dollars to 1000 dollars. Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley, stuck at the airport in Portland, Maine, says a pilot told passengers they had received a national grounding order. He says there has been a lack of information, that there were statements that no change was expected by midnight, and that crews can time out under FAA rules, leaving aircraft without crews. He also says people are turning to the internet and encountering disinformation.
