UPS Plane Crash: Rising Death Toll and Ongoing Investigations

TL;DR Summary
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced flight reductions at 40 major U.S. airports due to safety concerns linked to air traffic control staffing issues during the government shutdown, though he did not disclose specific data. The cuts, expected to reach 10%, aim to prevent safety incidents like breaches and tarmac incursions, amid staffing shortages and increased sick calls among controllers. The FAA has also threatened fines for exceeding flight limits, as the shutdown continues to impact air travel and cargo.
