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.
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!
