O'Hare may be closing a runway overnight to park aircraft as airport is near capacity on parking.

To put this into perspective, O'Hare is the busiest airport in the world for aircraft movements with 2700 takeoffs /landings per day. That's almost 2 takeoffs/landings ever second.

At 725pm: There are 0 passenger aircraft in the air over northern Illinois this evening. No commercial domestic or international flights are active. One cargo 747 is in route to O'Hare from Anchorage but that's is. Wow
