(WXYZ) — A ground delay has now been lifted for Delta flights at Detroit Metro Airport following a network outage and ground stop this morning.
Watch Simon Shaykhet's video report on the aftermath:
A ground stop was issued early Friday, with crowds filling the McNamara Terminal waiting for updates.
"We got here at 5:10. She walked around at 5:45 just saying that everything's out, not really like specification. I doubt that she had anything to do with it or knew anything, but I still don't really know anything for sure," said Dravon Rogers early Friday, who has plans to travel to Tampa.
