If anyone was expecting relatives to return from Mother's day well they won't be.

Deliberate sabotage to make Trump look bad?

[HereInTheHeartland]

Wow that’s a cluster mess

[Billthedrill]

Aw, man, whatever happened to “Kick the tire, light the fire, brief on guard, and first one in the air gets the lead”?

[BradyLS]

$36 trillion down the crapper and Newark International never saw a cent of it to upgrade their equipment. Who’s fault is that?

Next news headline out of Atlanta: Huge Brawl Breaks Out in Atlanta Airport Terminal Women's Bathroom Over Last Roll of Toilet Paper.

[Da Coyote]

Hmmm, closely timed failures.
Couldn’t have been related, could they?
Nope, must have been a coincidence.
Or...perhaps Trump’s fault.
But most certainly not the fault of the most inept pair of presidents - folks who’d have failed even the most elementary STEM course - the infamous Dorkbama and Pedo Joe.

Has Trump been blamed yet?

The article is supposed to be about Hartsfield, but the bulk of the article is about Newark.

Then Hartsfield is said to have a ground equipment outage.   Then they break it down to 'a runway equipment issue.'   Is that an approach control beam?   Any of you aviators or Navaids experts care to speak about this.   Something as crazy as a police radar aimed at the shack at the end of the runway?

“There is a Traffic Management Program in effect for traffic arriving Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport,’ said the FAA.” ‘Traffic Management Program’, huh? I wonder who authored it?

[LegendHasIt]

I can't believe that I'm the first one to post the 'usual' image on this thread:

[frank ballenger]

The door blown out of a Boeing airliner, a wheel coming off another one, a collision with a helicopter and tragic deaths.
Sudden outages of the air traffic control systems twice. Now more bad news.

Someone had better take charge.

No, it wasn’t because they are using 8” floppies

[TermLimits4All]

Hartford Jackson is always a shit show. Thankfully I don’t go out of there much, I hate flying. If it’s 12 hours or less I will typically drive. I guess it’s a control issue.

[oldtech]

This is crap. Does it mean incoming flights were stopped or delayed as well? I have not flown in a long time & mostly have no reason to anymore. This helped make up my mind.

[GreatRoad]

Where is Chris Christy? Isn’t this his m.o.?

[Lockbox]

What is the vision of Johnny pulling the cord out of the socket in my mind?

[RetiredTexasVet]

A happy Mothers Day to Mrs Buttguy for her success as Sect of Trans under Slow Joe. Had Mrs Buttguy not been out on extended maternity leave, chest feeding leave, etc. Newark Airport FAA operations could have been upgraded to standard.

[Fresh Wind]

The equipment DEIed?
