Nearby: South Bend, INWASHINGTON (AP) — Trump administration officials said Friday that new technology being added to the nation’s air traffic control system overloaded antiquated systems and caused “intermittent” communications and radar gaps, leading to the longest nationwide ground stop in 25 years.It was lifted Friday night after a five-hour stretch when most flights were not allowed to take off from airports in the United States.Thousands of flights and potentially over a million travelers were affected from coast to coast. Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin told reporters at the White House that no one was in any danger as more than 3,000 flights were safely landed. But Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy said he could not guarantee it wouldn’t happen again.

Nearby: South Bend, INThe Federal Aviation Administration says airplane departures can resume after the agency lifted a nationwide ground stop caused by communications problems. The FAA had grounded all flights nationwide Friday afternoon, causing hundreds of flights to be diverted. Officials cited “extraordinary circumstances” caused by communications problems at regional air traffic control centers. The nationwide ground stop was the first since January 2023, when a key FAA computer system malfunctioned, and the second since the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. The nation’s top homeland security official attributed the problem to a telecommunications outage and said there was no indication the communications failure was related to a cyberattack. Trump administration officials blamed ‘overloaded,’ ‘outdated’ systems. The consequences were profound, disrupting potentially thousands of planned flights through at least late Friday night and upending travel plans for passengers. “It’s frustrating.
Rockland Review News · South Bend, IN
Nearby: South Bend, INA Florida-based energy company called NextNRG wants to buy 33 acres in South Bend, Indiana, for a proposed data center and power project. The company announced Thursday that it signed a term sheet to buy the land from Envision South Bend LLC in a deal valued at $22 million, according to WNDU. Here's the catch: that term sheet is nonbinding. The price and the whole arrangement remain subject to negotiation and other approvals, and no construction timeline has been given. So what got announced this week is a starting position, not a done deal. Still, the outline is worth reading closely, because it says a lot about how data center projects are being assembled across the country right now — and about what a community can and cannot tell from an early announcement like this one. Stories like this matter well beyond one city; big-site deals reshape local tax bases wherever they land, which is something readers tracking business development in their own communities will recognize.

Nearby: Gary, INSandra Lynn King Turnage, 77, of Monticello, passed away peacefully at her home on Oct. 31, 2026. Sandra was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to her parents, Jesse and Vela Mason King. A service was held at Wilson Funeral Home Chapel on Nov. 4. Wilson Funeral Home was in charge of the arrangements. If you ever met Sandra, you already know that to know her was to love her. She grew up in Divide Community but due to her father’s work in the steel mill, she lived in Gary, Indiana, for a few years where she loved to ice skate. Sandra had the voice of an angel and sang beautifully and played the accordion as well as the piano, inspiring many others to learn the piano as well. She played by ear, which allowed her to listen to any piece of music and then replicate that on the piano. She and some friends were singing at Monticello Methodist Protestant Church where she met her husband, George. She caught his eye, and he winked at her while she sang until she returned the wink. And the rest is history.
