The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration grounded all domestic flights Wednesday morning (Jan 11,
2023) after suffering a nationwide technical outage, the first time since the September 11th attacks.
On “Mornings with Maria,” FOX Business White House correspondent Edward Lawrence was in Mexico
City, waiting to board a flight to Dallas that’s now delayed “indefinitely.”
“We talked to the pilot. We did get on the plane, and we were sitting in our seats and then ended up
getting off the plane because, they, for security reasons, they wanted us in the airport,” Lawrence
reported. “The pilot told me that all American flights internationally are not going anywhere and they
have no indication as to when that will change.”
“In talking to the pilots,” he continued, “they said they’ve never seen this kind of ground stop with this
kind of issue.
