Washington area airports and others along the East Coast are reporting flight delays due to an issue with the system that routes air traffic, according to the Federal Aviation Administration’s air traffic control Web site.
“The FAA is diagnosing an automation problem at an air traffic center in Leesburg, Va.,” according to a statement from the agency. “Some flights into and out of the New York and Washington, DC metro area airports area may be delayed.”

ZDC Center down. Ground stop for at least three hours.
Flights that are being allowed to depart are being held at 10,000 by the local towers, until they can be handed off to a working center.

“automation problem”
So, that’s what they’re calling it now.

I have no clue 'why' certain locations are so heavily targeted.
However...
Back on July 8th, some lead stories:
- *NYC subway system suffered an atrocious commute, some trains stranded in stations for long periods.
- *Website "The Dissolve" folded today
- *United Airline was forced to ground all of its flights after it's computer system mysteriously stopped working.
- *The NYStock Exchange suspended trading today after its computerized trading system mystreiously stopped working
- *Immediately after, the WSJ website mysteriously stopped working.
- *More than 2,500 people in DC mysteriously lost power
Thats just some of the headlines...the hacks however also concentrated on the St Louis, MO region at that time.
Why?
Some suggested the region has a huge clearing house for data storage and there is a Federal Reserve Bank in St. Louis. ChiComs are probably trying to interfere with global markets to soften their slide, so no one could sell anything anywhere.Another commenter posted: "in the weeks after the OPM hack, the Chinese equity market has collapsed and lost 3.7 trillion dollars - 30% of its value. China blames America and claims it's retaliation for the OPM hack. They have also told Russia that, under the terms of their cybersecurity defense pact, a state of war now exists with the USA."

That explains how quiet it’s been here this afternoon, 10 miles south of Dulles.
