Early reporting claims someone or something is jamming radar. Last time this country was ordered by the FAA for an ALL stop and grounding of ALL aircraft was 9/11....eerie!

Received via an employee of the FAA and I was told that Chicago went down first and was unable to track international flights to Chicago, and has since spread across the system.
