am taking the train. kaitlan, thank you very much. we appreciate it. cnn newsroom starts right now, of course, with the breaking news as well. good wednesday morning to you, i m jim sciutto. and i m erica hill. we are following the breaking news this morning after u.s. flights were grounded, the faa now lifting that ground stop. u.s. flights resuming here. there is, though, as you can imagine a huge mess unfolding at airports across this country and, frankly, around the world. a key faa safety system went down earlier this morning, that led to some scrambling from coast to coast. here is where we stand at this hour, the faa says it is set to resume more flight departures this hour, but in terms of the backlog, the damage that we re seeing, the delays and cancellations, understandably rising by the minute. new york lines are growing, atlanta and chicago delay warnings taking over departure screens. they may be the lucky ones stuck in the airports that are already i

Microsoft is Offering Refunds for Digital Purchases of Cyberpunk 2077
Players can now get a full refund of the digital version of Cyberpunk 2077 on both the Playstation and Xbox line of consoles.
