FAA computer systems reported down across East Coast... Developing... (Drudge)

My x-husband hated, hated to fly to California. They lose radar and other systems there rather frequently. He told me one time that he sat on the tarmac so long it began to seem easier just to find a job and move the family as opposed to getting back home again.

Doesn’t happen on the East coast nearly as often.

All computers are subject to failure.
