U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy held a press conference Friday night to provide an update on the Federal Aviation Administration’s nationwide ground stop, which halted flights across the U.S.
“Welcome to Friday the 13th. Right? You know, I want to make sure everybody understands that there is no connection between this and Microsoft. I know a lot of people are making that jump. This is, so far, what we've seen, there is actually no cyber attack,” Mullin said.
He added, “The public was never at danger through this process. There was never any lives at risk. There was no flights at risk. The FAA was able to handle it. We did it out of an abundance of caution.”
Duffy said radar instability prompted the FAA to impose the ground stop as a safety precaution. “We didn't lose all radar. But that instability, because of abundance of caution and making sure we keep the American flier safe, we did the ground stop.”
