UPDATE: Hurricane Sandy Grounds LAX Flights

UPDATE: Airlines canceled nearly 14,000 flights across the country Monday because of storms pummeling the East Coast, including 200 flights that had been scheduled to fly in or out of LAX.

According to Los Angeles International Airport spokesman Albert Rodriguez, 10 airlines canceled flights at LAX, including 99 arrivals and 101 departures, primarily at airports in Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Washington, D.C.
