OregonLive.com • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Actors Daniel Kaluuya and Tyriq Withers were stranded at Eugene airport due to a nationwide flight ground stop ordered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
- The ground stop forced passengers to disembark after they had boarded flights, including the actors who were en route to Los Angeles.
- During an interview, Withers humorously thanked the FAA for their actions and referenced recent Democratic election victories, while Kaluuya expressed gratitude despite the inconvenience.
- Flights in Oregon began resuming after the FAA lifted the ground stop, though Portland International Airport reported 144 cancellations on Friday, with unclear attribution to the FAA order.
