> U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy suggested government contractor L3 Harris may be responsible for an air traffic control communications failure that grounded thousands of flights Friday, ruling out a foreign cyberattack. More than 4,500 flights had been cancelled by Saturday, affecting over one million passengers. Officials said the worst was over.
