Mother's Day mayhem as ground stops issued at Newark and Atlanta airports
Ground stops issued at Newark Liberty International Airport and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Sunday are impacting passengers if they were traveling into or out of two of the largest airports in the country on Mother's Day weekend.
The ground stop at Atlanta's airport was issued Sunday morning and remained in effect until noon, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, who said it was a result of "a runway equipment issue." The administration temporarily slowed arrivals to the airport, it said in a statement.

Junior Alvarado was found to have struck the horse with his riding crop “more than the permitted amount” during last week’s race, violating the authority’s rules, it said in a statement Saturday.
