Editor's note: According to @LaurenPettyNBC, a public information officer in Aurora, Ill., says that authorities found a man with a self-inflicted wound at the evacuated FAA facility that prompted delays at Chicago airports. Due to the fluidity of the situation, we are waiting for more clarity on that detail. - Aaron

Did a control tower operator set himself on fire on the job?

Self immolation. That's dying like a man.

Some selfish arsehole decided early this morning would be a good time to set off a homemade explosive device and then try to burn down the basement of the FAA facility in Aurora. He then blew his head off. Good.
I was supposed to fly from ORD to JFK tonight. Not happening and couldn't get anything re-scheduled until Sunday. All flights are cancelled until at least 4 PM (and probably longer) out of O'Hare, Midway, and Milwaukee.
That one guy did tens of millions of dollars worth of economic damage with what he did.

I was supposed to go from MDW-BTR this evening. Next time they can rebook me is Sunday.
And the surly Delta employee I talked to can DIAF.

Lots of fun college football viewing in the city tomorrow, and the weather is great. Take advantage and hit some school bars.
Also, Will's (the best Packer bar in the country) is hosting a Bears/Packers steetfest style tailgate tomorrow at 3 with Gayle Sayers and Paul Hornung.

My mom was supposed to fly into Chicago this morning to see my brother.
My brother's fiance was supposed to fly out of Chicago for her bachelorette party.
Some fricked up shite.

Yeah. My parents live downstate so I'm going to go stay with them for the weekend.
I'm more pissed about the shitty service from Delta than anything.

I saw some crying woman on tv that won't be able to get to her sister's wedding tonight.
It's real serious up there.

I have no sympathy for her. I always plan for explosive self immolation suicides in the control tower when traveling. Everyone should.

Sitting in O'Hare as I type. Initial flight out was at 3. Now I'm on the 12:20 to DFW & 7 to BTR. Had 3 flights alone today canceled. Let's hope this one takes off.
