See the list of 40 airports affected by the FAA's reduction in air traffic due to the government shutdown, which has already resulted in hundreds of canceled flights. Plus, a mom-to-be draws some backlash for naming her unborn daughter after her favorite pair of boots, and a man reacts to his mugshot going viral as one of the alleged thieves from the Louvre heist.
Hundreds of flights have already been canceled around the country today as the Federal Aviation Administration began instituting a reduction in operations due to staffing shortages and fatigue from the ongoing government shutdown. The FAA is reducing air traffic by 10% within the next week at these 40 high-traffic airports across the U.S.
Texas mom Kailee Zak braced herself before announcing on TikTok that she and her husband had chosen the name Lukacey Lynn for their second child, a baby girl who is due in December. The unconventional name was inspired by Zak's trademark Lucchese cowboy boots and is pronounced the same. "I know it sounds silly, but those boots are just so meaningful to me," she tells TODAY.com. The online reaction ranged from amusement to reminders like "we're naming babies who will one day be adults."
With intense interest surrounding the thieves who robbed the Louvre last month, mug shots alleging to be the suspects have gone viral online. However, none of them are real, which hasn't stopped people from reaching out to Instagram user named Stefan Dolbashian. One of the photos is his mug shot from a 2010 arrest in Florida. "At first I just laughed it off not thinking much of it but that same day and several days after it seemed like almost everyone I've ever met in life reached out to me asking if the picture was me," he tells TODAY.com.
