Possible Security Issue Forces Ground Stop At Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport

An American Airlines aircraft had to be searched before being given the all clear.

Debris was seen streaking across the skies in South Florida.

Several of the carrier’s customers posted complaints on social media.

A fire in engine number one caused a brief ground stop on Tuesday evening as the Rome-bound plane returned safely.

Some controllers have been overworked, while a federal watchdog recently claimed that 50 systems are outdated.

The ground stop lasted just under an hour, but delays continued due to inclement weather in the region.

Thunderstorms in the region forced many airlines to delay or cancel flights.

Officials say they plan to keep the airport open and operational throughout the storm.

While many carriers were grounded or delayed, Southwest could continue functioning.

No new flight is being allowed to take off for now.
