Chaos at America's busiest airport as ALL flights are grounded
The massive delays come as the Trump administration has worked to address the air traffic controller shortage, while the president has blamed DEI for the recent spate of aviation disasters. 
Donald Trump vowed to purge DEI – diversity, equity and inclusion – from U.S. aviation, among other federal agencies, in the wake of the deadly midair collision at Reagan National airport in January that claimed 67 lives.
Since the beginning of 2025, at least 143 people have died in 36 US aviation incidents, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.
