And it does say telephone equipment outage causes ground stop at DFW Airport in Dallas-Leod Field.
00:06
It updated it 31 minutes ago.
00:08
So now they are blaming the teleco, which we kind of already sort of kind of knew yesterday.
00:13
We brought that up.
00:16
A reason that Christie's flight hadn't taken off, and I figured something was weird when I saw that there was a stop.
00:22
But nobody in the world seemed to know what the heck the stop was, or what it was for or anything.
00:27
But there was one.
00:28
And so, I guess they couldn't cover that line.
00:32
But they're still not saying who's responsible.
00:35
But when it's to the radar stuff.
00:44
Well, I'm looking all the way back to the 15th and I don't see anything, Tom.
00:49
That's NBC5, other than that new Fort Worth Police Chief.
00:53
That's it.
00:59
I'm sorry, what was that last part?
01:03
I don't see anything about that.
01:09
Well, it's that you're reading the story.
01:12
And it says that there's no real cars available at JFW.
01:14
They rented them all out.
01:16
There's people trapped there, and they're trying to get to Shaw at North Carolina where their luggage was sent.
01:25
And these are people that are actually trying to give to the Turks and Kekos.
01:30
So...
01:32
Evidently, their luggage went to Charlotte, North Carolina, and they're trying to get to Oklahoma so they can get to North Carolina so that they can get out, but they can't.
01:39
There's no vehicles, no cars available.
01:48
The channel 11 on their video, or 10 p.m.
01:54
news, shows that the ground stop has now been lifted.
01:56
They got the problem resolved, but it's going to take days to unravel it.
