Does SpaceX Have To Compensate Passengers Who Were Affected By Its Failed Launch?

On March 6, a failed SpaceX launch in Florida caused multiple airports to temporarily halt flights. Debris from the SpaceX Starship rocket spun into the air, raising concerns over the safety of flights in the region. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ordered ground stops at Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Miami International Airport (MIA), which lasted as long as 30 minutes. The delays also affected Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and Palm Beach International Airport (PBI). Although a relatively short delay, thousands of passengers were affected across Florida airports.
