ATC Zero

21 years ago at 9:03 am a Deputy Manager at the FAA’s regional air traffic control center on Long Island issues a command to clear the skies over New York City and its’ surrounding region. Not a single flight will be allowed in or out of New York. At 9:25 am an FAA National Operations manager on his first day at the job issues a nationwide ground stop, halting all aircraft on the ground from taking off. At 9:38 am that same manager makes the decision to land or divert every single aircraft either over the United States or headed this way.
