All Chicago air traffic was stopped early today after a fire at a Federal Aviation Administration air traffic control facility in the Chicago suburb of Aurora, an FAA spokeswoman says.
Authorities say a man with self-inflicted wounds was found at the facility.
Planes destined for Chicago-area airports, including O'Hare and Midway, won't be allowed to depart until at least 10 a.m. CT (11 a.m. ET) because of the fire, the FAA says. The Chicago ground stop will likely create a ripple effect for travelers around the nation.
