00:00A massive flight meltdown just hit airports across the entire country,
00:03and five major hubs took the worst of it.
00:06Airlines logged 5,855 delays and 201 cancellations nationwide by the end of the day Sunday.
00:13Chicago O'Hare was hit hardest with 556 delays,
00:17followed by Boston Logan, Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson,
00:21Dallas-Fort Worth, and San Francisco International.
00:24By airline, American-led with 614 delays, Southwest close behind at 594.
00:30Delta at 406, and United at 346.
00:33The FAA blames dense cloud cover over Lake Michigan,
00:37combined with coastal weather over Massachusetts Bay,
00:40forcing controllers to implement ground delay programs at major hubs.
00:43Low cloud ceilings meant reduced runway capacity,
00:46and that squeeze rippled out nationwide.
00:49Travelers through any major hub this week should build in extra time,
00:53since forecasters say similar conditions could return.
