controllers evacuated the tower because of a burning smell coming from an elevator,\u201d the FAA said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The ground stop was scheduled to last until at least 8:30 a.m., roughly an hour after it started, but the delays caused by the incident are likely to mean more travel woe for passengers in the New York area.<\/p>\n<p>Passengers at airports across the country have been subjected to hours-long security delays because of the ongoing Transportation Security Administration shutdown.<\/p>\n<p>Two pilots were killed late Sunday night at LaGuardia Airport in Queens when an Air Canada-operated flight collided with a fire truck on the runway. The airport will be closed until Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<p><em>This is a developing story.
