DHS rules out signs of an attack after FAA shutdown. 12,000+ flight disruptions spread overseas and threaten college football schedules.

By Friday evening, more than 2,000 flights were canceled and over 10,000 delayed. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said there was no indication of an attack. He called it a telecommunications outage and said, “This isn’t another 9/11.” But the government still hasn’t explained what failed.

The fallout isn’t staying at US airports. Some European departures to the US were suspended, Mexico grounded US-bound flights, and the SEC and Big 12 were trying to figure out whether teams could get to Saturday’s games.
