The partial shutdown at the start of one of the busiest travel weeks of the year forced the Federal Aviation Administration to ground flights bound for Atlanta. Departures from Atlanta were delayed as well because gates and other equipment inside terminals were inoperative, the agency said. The FAA flight control tower was operating normally, but at least three major airlines - United Air Lines, American Airlines and Southwest Airlines - suspended operations at the airport for the rest of the day.

Sounds like the tower and air traffic control were running normally, which is a good thing. Just grateful that I do not have to travel this holiday season.

It is devastating for them. A fire in an underground utility is being blamed for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the generators? It is my understanding that the resulting fire from the original problem took out the generators also. It will be interesting to see what happened, if we are ever told.
