[PSUBS-MAILIST] A little off topic but...
I'm grounded for the duration in Grand Island, NE. I'd gotten in with my load
of freight from Omaha before they closed the airspace.
A friend of mine sent me this link.
A 500k animated GIF image showing how fast US airspace was
cleared of traffic after the order to land at the nearest
airport went out. It starts at 9:20am and ends at 10:28am.
I think the order went out around 9:00am.

All around, a bad day for us all.
