Looks like that the NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions) system failed yesterday morning, resulting in a lot of delays and cancellations for flights in the United States (Chicago O'Hare was the worst hit).
NOTAM is a system which provides temporary information to pilots upon filing of a flight plan (weather, runway closures, etc.) Without it, you do not fly, so it resulted in a ground stop of several hours. This could have effects until tomorrow...
