I had the same idea (https://germon.me/experiments/ground-stop/), this is awesome, great stuff

Something about planes and data visualisation I love, been focus of so many of my random side projects

I remember seeing a similar cool GIF for 9/11 flights, and thought it'd be cool to see if for today's ground stop too, and had Claude Code generate the website in ~30 mins.

Liked it so much and thought I'd clean it up a bit, deploy, and share :) Enjoy!

Really fast work! I didn't know all of this data was publicly available.

What’s underlying data source for it all?

Fun irony (beyond being Friday the 13th): FAA lost radar and frequencies between centers but ADS-B is broadcast by the planes themselves, so a couple hundred hobbyist receivers probably kept the full picture the whole time.

Wow, impressive TTM. Barely enough time for the domain to resolve!
