If you were planning to fly today, well, good luck! Via CNN:

New York (CNN) — The Federal Aviation Administration halted all domestic flight departures across the United States Wednesday after the system providing pilots with pre-flight safety notices went offline.

The FAA said in a statement it had ordered airlines to stand flights down until at least 9 a.m. Eastern Time while it tried to restore its NOTAMS -- or Notice to Air Missions -- system.

"We are performing final validation checks and repopulating the system now," an earlier FAA statement said. "Operations across the National Airspace System are affected. We will provide frequent updates as we make progress."

The NOTAMS system that is experiencing the outage provides "critical flight safety operation information," the airline said.

I'm sure the Republican Congress will do whatever they have to do to strengthen these vital systems, right? Haha, just kidding!
