'This isn't another 9/11': US Homeland Security chief on FAA grounding departing US flights

The chief of the US Department of Homeland Security said on Friday (Nov 13) there was no reason for the public to be afraid after the Federal Aviation Administration ‌grounded all flights nationwide following a communications failure that hit air traffic control centers across the country. Said Markwayne Mullin: "I want to make sure we say this again. There's no reason for the public to be afraid or scared for your loved ones. This isn't another 9/11. I just can't repeat that enough. People are making that assumption because that's the last time we had a nationwide ground stoppage. This is a telecommunication outage. This is much different." https://cna.asia/4zEs8NM Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
