Sean Duffy warns parts of US airspace will close if shutdown continues: 'There will be mass chaos'

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned Tuesday that if the government shutdown drags into next week, there will be "mass chaos" for air travelers -- and blamed congressional Democrats for the looming catastrophe. "If you bring us to a week from today, Democrats, you will see mass chaos, you will see mass flight delays," Duffy told reporters. "You'll see mass cancellations, and you may see us close certain parts of the airspace because we just cannot manage it."
