SoCal airport chaos: Latest on delays, cancellations at LAX, Burbank and Ontario

We now want to get you updated on another developing national story that has really impacted thousands of people across the nation, including here in Southern California. We're, of course, talking about that FAA national ground stop that happened yesterday afternoon, right before one o'clock, and it lasted more than four hours. So obviously that ground stop has now been lifted. But there are still so many impacts with lots of delays and cancellations across the country. Let's get you updated right now. So let's take a live look here at flight radar. You can see that this is really just showing you the live flight activity right now. So really what flights are active, that's what all those yellow planes on the screen means right now. So I can tell you at one point yesterday, this map was essentially empty because all the planes that were in the air ended up landing. And because of that ground stop, no one was able to fly at this time. So right now it does appear that operations are normal here, according to Flight Radar. Let's also take a live look at LAX while I give you the latest on what we know right now. So we know that. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy was saying that this was ultimately a telecommunications failure that prompted the ground stop yesterday. The latest now is they're trying to figure out if this was faulty equipment or a contractor error, because they were saying that a contractor at the time was replacing copper wires with fiber wires. So they're saying right now there's no sign of a cyber attack, but obviously this is all still under investigation. Let's also give you the latest when it comes to delays and cancellations right now. So let's take a live look here at FlightAware.com. You can see that when it comes to U.S. flights right now, there are 4,699 across the country. Cancellations for the U.S. stand at 4,895 right now. But going back to LAX to tell you what's happening specifically there, I can tell you the latest data is 100 cancellations and 116 flight delays. Now let's talk about Ontario. This is a live look at the Ontario airport now, and I can tell you that Updated numbers here from FlightAware tell me that there are nine cancellations right now and 16 delays. So again, a lot of people still remaining. Impacted by this, we are going to be available for you throughout the morning and throughout the afternoon here on Fox Local, giving you updates as we have them. As soon as we have more information on both the riverboat accident in New Orleans and, of course, the national ground stop that has impacted people into today, we will hop back on here on Fox Local. In the meantime, we are going to send it back to Live Now. Thanks for watching us.
