Happening Near Campus: At 8:15 yesterday evening, the FAA lifted a nationwide groundstop on all U.S. airports. By 9:30 pm, over 7,500 flights were cancelled and over 25,000 were delayed nationwide. Despite the lift, New York and New Jersey airports will still be experiencing major flight delays because of the large number of flights and the comparatively small number of runways and flight paths. Vikrant Vaze, a professor at Dartmouth College studying transportation systems, compared the ground stop in New York to a clogged pipe with more and more water trying to get through. While traveling, though system functions have returned, travelers are urged to guard their expectations. (Gothamist)
