THEY RECEIVED. THE HOMELAND. SECURITY SECRETARY OUTSIDE THE. WHITE HOUSE A SHORT TIME AGO, TRYING TO REASSURE THE AMERICAN. PUBLIC. OUR REPORTER ASKING, CAN YOU RULE OUT A CYBER ATTACK? WE DO HAVE NEWS COMING IN AT. THIS HOUR ON ALL OF THIS TEAM. COVERAGE TONIGHT, BEGINNING. WITH ABC'S MATT RIVERS LEADING. US OFF FROM LAGUARDIA AIRPORT. IN NEW YORK. >> TONIGHT AFTER MORE THAN 4.5. HOURS. WORD JUST IN THAT THE. NATIONWIDE GROUND STOP HAS BEEN. LIFTED LATE TONIGHT. TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY SEAN. DUFFY COMING TO CAMERAS. >> IT'S GOING TO TAKE US SOME.

TIME TO UNWIND WHAT'S HAPPENED. THIS AFTERNOON. >> ACROSS THE COUNTRY, FROM NEW. YORK TO LOS ANGELES TO MIAMI TO. BOSTON, PLANES FROZEN ON. AIRPORT RUNWAYS. THE FAA. ORDERING THE GROUND STOP, QUOTE, DUE TO EXTRAORDINARY. CIRCUMSTANCES AND FOR REASONS. OF SAFETY. PILOTS AND COCKPITS. FROM COAST TO COAST RECEIVING. MESSAGES LIKE THIS. ATTENTION. ALL FLIGHTS. NOBODY IS ALLOWED. TO LEAVE THE GROUND. PLANES. TOLD TO RETURN TO THE GATE. IMMEDIATELY. AT THE WHITE HOUSE, HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY. MARKWAYNE MULLIN, LOOKING TO. REASSURE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

>> THE PUBLIC WAS NEVER AT. DANGER THROUGH THIS PROCESS. THERE WAS. THERE WAS NEVER ANY. LIVES AT RISK. THERE WAS NO. FLIGHTS AT RISK. >> THE SECRETARY WAS PRESSED. CAN HE RULE OUT A CYBER ATTACK? >> SO FAR, WHAT WE'VE SEEN, THERE IS ACTUALLY NO. CYBER. ATTACK. >> LATE TODAY, ABC. TRANSPORTATION PRODUCER SAM. SWEENEY ON THE AIR WITH DAVID. >> FOR HISTORICAL CONTEXT HERE.

AGAIN, THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED. TWICE SINCE NINE OVER 11. THIS. WOULD BE THE THIRD TIME. >> THIS WOULD BE THE THIRD TIME. DAVID. AND AGAIN, THEY DO NOT. TAKE THIS LIGHTLY. THIS MEANS. THERE IS A CRITICAL FAILURE. WITH ONE OF THE COMMUNICATION. SYSTEMS. WE DON'T KNOW IF THAT. MEANS THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO. TALK TO CERTAIN AIRCRAFT OR. IT'S, YOU KNOW, A PROBLEM. GETTING INFORMATION OR DATA TO. PLANES THAT ARE TAKING OFF. >> FLIGHTS ALREADY IN THE AIR. WERE NOT TOLD TO TURN BACK THIS. FLIGHT AWARE MAP SHOWING JUST. HOW MANY PLANES WERE IN THE SKY. DAVID, SPEAKING WITH ABC.

AVIATION CONSULTANT JOHN NANCE. >> IF THERE IS A COMMUNICATIONS. ISSUE, EVEN FOR THE FLIGHTS. THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THE AIR, THEN WHAT HAPPENS THEN IN THE. COCKPIT? >> IN THE COCKPIT, ONCE YOU IF. YOU HAVE A TOTAL BLACKOUT SO. YOU'RE NOT TALKING TO ANYBODY, THEN YOU BASICALLY REVIEW WHERE. YOUR FLIGHT PLAN SAYS YOU'RE. GOING TO GO WHEN YOU'RE GOING. TO COME OUT OF ALTITUDE AND YOU. FOLLOW THAT. IT'S MOSTLY. UNPRECEDENTED AS FAR AS NORMAL. AVIATION IS CONCERNED. BUT. CERTAINLY ALL PILOTS IN THAT. ENVIRONMENT KNOW WHAT TO DO. >> BUT LATE TODAY, SECRETARY.

MULLEN SAYING THEY ARE ABLE TO. COMMUNICATE WITH THOSE PILOTS. >> WE ARE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE. TO AT CERTAIN LEVELS. BUT BUT. IT'S OVERWHELMED SOME OF THE. SYSTEMS WE HAVE. >> ON THE GROUND. PASSENGERS AT. THE NATION'S AIRPORTS STRANDED. MORE THAN 3700 FLIGHTS HAVE. ALREADY BEEN CANCELED, NEARLY. 10,000 DELAYED NUMBERS THAT ARE. SURE TO RISE LATE TONIGHT. WORD. THAT SOME INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS. ARE BEING ALLOWED TO TAKE OFF. FROM THE EAST AND WEST COASTS, FLYING ACROSS THE ATLANTIC AND.

PACIFIC OCEANS. >> SO LET'S BRING IN MATT. RIVERS WITH US LIVE TONIGHT. FROM LAGUARDIA AIRPORT. MATT, JUST MOMENTS AGO, MARTHA. RADDATZ REPORTING THAT AT SOME. AIRPORTS, THEY'RE ACTUALLY. TOWING PASSENGER PLANES TO. HANGARS TO MAKE ROOM FOR SOME. OF THESE PLANES COMING AND. LANDING THAT WERE UP IN THE AIR. THIS AFTERNOON WHEN THIS GROUND. STOP WAS CALLED BY THE FAA. A. LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT. CAUSED THIS. THERE'S ALSO. OBVIOUSLY CONCERN ABOUT THE. PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHO. ARE SITTING IN THESE PLANES OUT. ON RUNWAYS AT THIS HOUR. WHAT. POINT WILL THESE PASSENGERS BE. ALLOWED TO GET OFF.

>> AS SOON AS POSSIBLE? DAVID, THESE AIRLINES ARE TRYING. DESPERATELY TO GET THESE. PASSENGERS OFF THESE PLANES. BUT AS YOU JUST MENTIONED THERE, THERE'S ONLY A CERTAIN NUMBER. OF GATES AT EACH ONE OF THESE. AIRPORTS. YOU NEED AN OPEN GATE. IF YOU WANT TO PULL UP TO GET. THOSE PASSENGERS OFF THAT. PLANES, AT LEAST THE NORMAL WAY. SO ESSENTIALLY, THESE AIRLINES. ARE PLAYING A GAME OF TETRIS, MOVING THESE PLANES AROUND AS. FAST AS POSSIBLE AS THE NUMBER. OF PLANES ON THE TARMACS REALLY. BEGINS TO STACK UP. IT IS AN. ABSOLUTE MESS RIGHT NOW. DAVID. AN EXTRAORDINARILY LONG NIGHT. AHEAD. >> THE CHAOS AND CONFUSION AT. AIRPORTS ACROSS THIS COUNTRY,

AND OF COURSE, THE CONCERN OVER. WHAT'S BEHIND THIS. MATT RIVERS. LEADING US OFF. MATT. THANK YOU. LET'S GET RIGHT TO COLONEL. STEVE GANYARD, A PILOT HIMSELF, AN ABC NEWS CONSULTANT. AND. STEVE, WHEN YOU HEAR FROM. SECRETARY MULLEN LATE TODAY. THAT THEY HAVE SOME WAY TO. COMMUNICATE WITH THESE PILOTS. IN THE AIR, NOT FULLY UP AND. RUNNING, HOW ARE THEY DOING. THIS? >> BACKUP SYSTEMS? DAVID. EVERY. SYSTEM HAS A BACKUP SYSTEM, BUT. REMEMBER THAT THE GROUND STOP. WAS PUT INTO PLACE BECAUSE THEY. WERE WORRIED ABOUT PUTTING MORE. AIRPLANES IN THE AIR, THAT THEY. WERE JUST ONE FAILURE AWAY FROM. LOSING TOTAL COMMUNICATIONS.

THAT'S WHY THIS IS SO SERIOUS. >> AND STEVE, GIVEN THE FACT. THAT THIS IS ONLY THE THIRD. TIME THAT WE'VE SEEN THIS, A. NATIONWIDE GROUND STOP SINCE. NINE OVER 11, HOW SIGNIFICANT. MUST THIS HAVE BEEN, THIS. OUTAGE, IN ORDER TO CALL FOR. THIS. >> VERY SIGNIFICANT DAVID, AND. THINK ABOUT WHAT IT COULD HAVE. BEEN, YOU KNOW, IN IN THE. NORTHEAST TONIGHT, THERE'S LOTS. OF WEATHER. THE WEST COAST HAS. LOTS OF WEATHER. SO THINK IF. THEY HAD LOST TOTAL. COMMUNICATIONS. WE KNOW THAT. PILOTS HAVE WAYS TO DO THAT. THEY WOULD FOLLOW PROCEDURES. BUT TO PUT THAT MANY AIRPLANES. INTO BAD WEATHER AND EXPECT. THEM TO ALL LAND SAFELY WOULD.

HAVE BEEN A POTENTIAL DISASTER. >> STEVE GANYARD WITH US HERE. TONIGHT. STEVE. THANK YOU. I. WANT TO BRING IN OUR CHIEF. INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT, AARON KATERSKY. AND AARON. THIS. ALL COMES AMID HEIGHTENED. CONCERN OVER AI, OVER THE. POTENTIAL FOR CYBER ATTACKS. AND AFTER A WEEK OF THREATS. ACROSS EUROPE THAT DISRUPTED. THOUSANDS OF FLIGHTS, THEIR. FIGHTER JETS HAD TO ACCOMPANY. MANY OF THOSE PASSENGER PLANES. TO GET THEM DOWN. OBVIOUSLY. HERE TONIGHT, WE'RE NOT GOING. TO GET AHEAD OF OURSELVES, BUT. PEOPLE AT HOME ARE AWARE OF ALL. THESE STORIES, THESE HEADLINES. THEY'RE AWARE OF THE. ENVIRONMENT THAT WE'RE LIVING. IN TONIGHT. THE FAA BELIEVES.

THAT THIS IS A. TELECOMMUNICATIONS ISSUE AND. NOT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE WHO. TARGETED THE SYSTEM IN ANY WAY, NOT SOMETHING MORE NEFARIOUS. >> NOTHING NEFARIOUS, WE'RE. TOLD, DAVID, AT LEAST. PRELIMINARILY. AND IT WAS A. RASH OF HOAX THREATS THAT. DISRUPTED NEARLY A WEEK'S WORTH. OF AIR TRAVEL IN EUROPE. NOTHING LIKE THAT IS THOUGHT TO. HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE GROUND. STOP IN THIS COUNTRY. THE FAA. IS CERTAIN IT'S A. TELECOMMUNICATIONS ISSUE. THEY. JUST HAVEN'T SAID WHAT CAUSED. IT. DAVID, I'M JUST OFF WITH A. SENIOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL.

WHO TELLS US THIS SEEMS TO BE. MORE OF A TECHNICAL PROBLEM. RIGHT NOW, NOT A CYBER ATTACK. BUT THE FAA IS STILL WORKING TO. DETERMINE WHY THEIR SYSTEMS. FAILED. DAVID. >> I THINK THERE WILL BE A LOT. OF. >> RELIEF IN THIS COUNTRY WHEN. IT'S CONFIRMED THAT THIS IS. SOLELY A TECHNICAL ISSUE, IF. THAT'S IN FACT WHAT THIS IS, THOUGH, CAUSING A LOT OF CHAOS. AND CONFUSION. ERIN, OUR THANKS. TO YOU. RACHEL SCOTT IS. STANDING BY AT THE WHITE HOUSE. AND, RACHEL, YOU ASKED THE. HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY. LATE THIS AFTERNOON IF HE COULD. RULE OUT A CYBER ATTACK. HE. SAID THEY'RE NOT RULING. ANYTHING OUT. BUT OF COURSE, NOW, WE'VE HEARD FROM THE WHITE.

HOUSE TONIGHT. >> DAVID, SECRETARY MULLEN DID. NOT RULE OUT THAT THIS COULD BE. A CYBER ATTACK. HE SAID AT THIS. POINT, HE DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT. THERE IS ANYTHING NEFARIOUS. GOING ON HERE, THAT THERE'S ANY. THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY. BUT HE SAID RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE. STILL VERY MUCH WORKING THROUGH. THIS PROCESS. HE SAYS THAT AN. OLD SYSTEM IS TO BLAME AND THAT. THE SYSTEM NEEDS FUNDING AND. THAT IT NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. SO. THEN I ASKED THE TRANSPORTATION. SECRETARY, SEAN DUFFY, HOW. AMERICANS CAN BE REASSURED THAT. IT IS SAFE TO FLY WITH THIS OLD. SYSTEM, AND HOW LONG IT IS.

GOING TO TAKE FOR THINGS TO GET. BACK UP AND RUNNING AND GET. BACK TO NORMAL. HE TOLD ME THAT. HE DID NOT ANTICIPATE THAT. THERE WOULD BE AN OUTAGE LIKE. THIS, AND HE DID ACKNOWLEDGE. THAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE SOME. TIME FOR FLIGHTS TO FULLY GET. BACK UP AND RUNNING. DAVID. >> AND OF COURSE, SECRETARY. MULLEN, MAKING IT VERY CLEAR. THAT THE PRIORITY HERE IS. GETTING THESE PASSENGER PLANES. WITH PEOPLE ON THEM DOWN AND. DOWN SAFELY TONIGHT, AND OF. COURSE, ANSWERING ALL THESE. QUESTIONS TO COME. RACHEL SCOTT. AND OUR ENTIRE TEAM TONIGHT. MY. THANKS TO YOU ALL. THERE IS. ANOTHER MAJOR BREAKING STORY AT.

PEOPLE ON BOARD, MANY OF THEM. LIKELY OLDER, FORCED TO JUMP. INTO THE MISSISSIPPI. THAT COLD, MURKY WATER ABOUT 50FT DEEP. IT'S UNCLEAR WHAT CAUSED THAT. TANKER TO LOSE CONTROL AND.
