Delayed O'Hare airline passengers voice frustrations on social media


All flights in and out of Chicago's two airports were halted Friday morning because of a fire at a suburban Chicago air traffic control facility. The ground stop threatened to send delays and cancellations rippling throughout the nation's air travel network.
By 8:30 a.m., more than 580 flights at O'Hare and Midway had been canceled, according to aviation tracker FlightAware.com. FlightAware.com CEO Daniel Baker said the number of cancellations and delays are expected to rise considerably over the next few hours.
