Report of a crash on Mulhauser Road in West Chester blocking traffic

KELLY: MORE TRAVEL NIGHTMARES. A MAJOR SAFETY SYSTEM BACK ONLINE AFTER AN OUTAGE FORCED THE FAA TO ISSUE AN EMERGENCY GROUND STOP. WE TAKE YOU LIVE TO HOW THINGS ARE LOOKING AT CVG. STEVEN: PLUS, MORE BREAKING NEWS. BILLS SAFETY DAMAR HAMLIN OUT OF THE HOSPITAL AND IN THE COMFORT OF HIS OWN HOME. THE REMARKABLE RECOVERY. ADAM: SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE AROUND TODAY, BUT EVEN HEAVIER SHOWERS MOVE IN THURSDAY BEFORE A TRANSITION TO SNOW. AHEAD, I’LL TIME OUT THE IMAPCTS THIS NEXT SYSTEM BRINGS. [CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY WLWT-TV] >> THIS IS WLWT NEWS 5, LEADING THE WAY WITH BREAKING NEWS. STEVEN: A MAJOR SAFETY SYSTEM OUTAGE, CAUSING CASCADING PROBLEMS AT AIRPORTS ACROSS THE U.S. THANKS FOR JOINING US AT NOON. I’M STEVEN ALBRITTON. KELLY: AND I’M KELLY RIPPIN. THE FAA ABLE TO GET THAT SYSTEM UP AND RUNNING AGAIN, BUT THE RIPPLE EFFECTS ARE STILL BEING FELT BY TRAVELERS EVERYWHERE, INCLUDING CVG. THAT’S WHERE WE FIND WLWT NEWS 5’S BRIAN HAMRICK. WE KNOW THAT SOME FLIGHTS ARE CANCELED, A LOT DELAYED. HOW ARE THINGS LOOKING? BRIAN: EVEN THOUGH THE SYSTEM IS UP AND RUNNING AGAIN, THE DAMAGE IS DONE. TAKE A LOOK. THIS IS THE BOARD HERE AT CVG. ARRIVALS, TAKE A LOOK. YOU CAN SEE HOW MANY HAVE BEEN CHANGED, THERE IS AN AWFUL LOT OF ORANGE AND RED ON THE BOARD. IT IS NOT JUST ARRIVALS, IT IS DEPARTURES AS WELL. EVEN THOUGH THE SYSTEM IS UP AND GOING, THE DELAY DOMINOES HAVE ALREADY STARTED TO FALL. ACROSS THE NATION, WE HAVE SEEN 6000 DELAYS AND 1000 CANCELLATIONS. THE BOARDS ARE FILLED HERE AT CVG WITH MOSTLY DELAYS, IF YOU CANCELLATIONS. IT MEANS A LONG WAIT FOR SOME PEOPLE WHO WERE EXPECTING TO GET ON A FLIGHT THIS MORNING. WE HAVE NOT SEEN LARGE CROWDS OR LONG LINES BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE. MOST PEOPLE ARE JUST PUSHING BACK PLANS AND COMING TO THE AIRPORT LATER. THE FAA ISSUED A GROUND STOP BECAUSE THIS SYSTEM WENT DOWN. WHICH IS A VERY UNUSUAL STEP. THE LAST TIME THIS MANY PLANES WERE GROUNDED IN THE U.S. WAS DURING 9/11. THIS APPEARS TO BE SOME SORT OF TECHNICAL GLITCH. THE SYSTEM IS CALLED THE NOTICE TO AIR MISSIONS SYSTEM, OR NOTAM. IT ALERTS PILOTS TO POTENTIAL ISSUES THAT MAY BE AT AIRPORTS WHERE THEY ARE HEADED. >> WE GOT SOME UPDATES FROM THE FAA TODAY, PART OF THEIR SYSTEM WAS DOWN. THAT IS HOW AIRLINE CREWS COMMUNICATE WITH THE FAA BEFORE THEY DEPART IN AIRPORT. >> WE WERE HERE, WE WERE HERE EARLY. ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE WERE SITTING AND THEY WERE DELAYING OUR FLIGHT, THEN THEY CANCELED IT. THEY SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE FAA. BRIAN: SO, HERE’S THE MAIN CONCERN. THESE DELAYS HAVE A CASCADING EFFECT, WE TALKED TO SOME AVIATION EXPERTS WHO TELL US NOT ONLY WILL THIS PROBABLY TAKE MOST OF THE DAY, IT COULD SPILL INTO TOMORROW AND EVEN THE NEXT DAY, CAUSING DELAYS. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR FLIGHT. BRIAN HAMRICK, WLWT NEWS 5. KELLY: OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A BIG DEAL. DO THEY KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION? BRIAN: THE WHITE HOUSE IS SAYING IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A CYBERATTACK. BUT NOBODY KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT DID CAUSE THE PROBLEM. IT IS CERTAIN TO BRING UP CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAVING — THIS AGING AVIATION INFRASTRUCTURE. WE CAN TRACK A PACKAGE ON AMAZON, EVERY TRUCK, WITH GPS. THEY ARE STILL USING RADAR TO TRACK SYSTEMS HERE AND THE AIRPLANES, JUST LIKE WE DID BACK IN WORLD WAR II. KELLY: DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THROUGH THE DAY. STEVEN: LET US TAKE IT OUTSIDE, LOOKING AT THE WEATHER FORECAST WELL BEFORE SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. ADAM IS IN, WHAT DO WE HAVE? ADAM: WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN TODAY, WHAT WE ARE WATCHING FOR HIS COMING IN TOMORROW INTO PARTS OF FRIDAY. TODAY, GENERALLY DREARY. CLOUD COVER IN CINCINNATI, TEMPERATURES AT 46 DEGREES. THE WINDS A LITTLE BREEZY, MANY AREAS DEALING WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER 40’S. LET ME GET YOU TO THE RADAR, WE ARE SEEING THE RAIN CURRENTLY SPREAD ACROSS OUR REGION. STILL FAIRLY SCATTERED, EVERYONE IS SEEING IT. ONCE WE PUT INTO MOTION, WE GET A GENERAL SENSE OF WHO IS SEEING THE SHOWERS. A LITTLE BIT ON THE 275 LOOP AND OUT TOWARD HARRISON, MOVING UP TOWARD FAIRFIELD AND A LITTLE BIT. AS WE MOVE FURTHER EAST INTO PARTS OF CLERMONT COUNTY GETTING INTO BROWN COUNTY, HEAVY RAIN NEAR FAYETTEVILLE. THAT WILL MOVE NORTHEAST, EVENTUALLY INTO HIGHLAND COUNTY. MORE MODERATE RAINFALL BACK NEAR FELICITY HEADING TOWARD GEORGETOWN, RUSSELLVILLE IS ON THE EDGE. THAT IS MOVING NORTHEAST. AHEAD IN THE FORECAST, NOT ONLY ARE WE DEALING WITH RING TODAY, BUT MORE HEAVY RAIN TOMORROW WITH A SWITCH THAT COULD TRANSITION OVER TO SNOW. A LOT TO TRACK, I WILL CHECK IT ALL FOR YOU IN A FEW MINUTES. STEV
