Everybody Stop

It was a hectic day in O’Hare.  There were airplanes everywhere and predictably Ground Control was talking a mile a minute.  Suddenly Ground says: “Everybody on my frequency – STOP.” The whole airport instantly became a parking lot.  Everyone was wondering what was going on but the frequency was dead quiet.  In the cockpit, we speculated on what had happened.  Perhaps a fire in the control tower or worse – a threat of some kind.  Thirty seconds later the controller said: “Thanks guys, I just needed a break – Everyone continue.” The ordered chaos resumed.
