Travelers across the U.S. are facing potential chaos today as federal authorities began reducing air traffic at 40 airports today to help ensure safety.
Those include major hubs like Atlanta and Denver, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
We were seeing increased pressure in these 40 markets, and we looked at the data.
This was data-driven, and so taking 10% of the flights out will reduce that pressure, which is what we want to do.
The move comes amid staffing shortages with air traffic controllers being asked to work without pay for now,
ever since the government shutdown began more than a month ago.
Spokesman for the Allied Pilots Association, Dennis Tager, says the air traffic cutback was the right call.
Our airlines plan for mother nature, but we don't plan for government nature.
Concerns are now growing that many Americans could find their Thanksgiving travel plans disrupted if the shutdown does not end soon.
The federal investigators continue digging for clues
as they tried to determine what caused Tuesday's deadly crash
of a UPS cargo plane in Kentucky.
National Transportation Safety Board member Todd Enman.
UPS has told us that this time there were no maintenance work done
on the aircraft in question immediately prior to the flight
that would delay it in any way, shape, or form.
He said investigators are combing through the maintenance history of the aircraft,
and of course they are also gathering evidence on the ground at the crash site.
He said they found multiple pieces of engine fan blades and other engine parts.
Authorities say a wing caught fire and one of the engines fell off just before the plane crashed on takeoff from Louisville's International Airport.
The explosion sent a fireball and a column of black smoke into the sky.
Louisville mayor Craig Greenberg called it horrific and tragic.
This was worse than the movies.
Half a mile long standing there where you could just see the destruction, a charred, mangled metal.
In some cases at that point, there were still some smoke rising from piles of debris.
The death toll from the crash has now risen to 13.
Nearly nine years after Malaysian pastor Raymond Coe disappeared, a long-awated verdict has arrived.
Malaysia's High Court ruled Wednesday that the government was responsible for his 2017 abduction,
confirming what many had long expected.
Coe's wife, Susanna, believes he was targeted for sharing his Christian faith in the Muslim majority nation.
We dedicate this struggle and judgment to Pastor Raymond Cole, a man of faith, compassion, and courage, and to all victims of enforced disappearance.
The court ordered daily damages of about $2,400 to be paid to his family, roughly $7.5 million so far.
