Poor article. This happens quite often when you get a stuck mic on a frequency. No one can talk. ATC will come up on guard and direct everyone to an alternate freq.

I'm not familiar with "airguide.info". What's their 'thing'? 20 Pilots "stranded"? BTW, other sources say the outage was more like 90 seconds.

So was that 20 different planes or 10 planes with two pilots each?
