Fox News Alert

MAJOR problem with national air traffic...specifically flight plan system....All air traffic halted, nationally.

[hope]

LOL! o.k. she's still in route....I kind of expected a different means of transportation...

The planes in Baghdad are going OK.

Two just flew overhead a few minutes ago.

Sounded like F-16s.

All is normal here.

For what it is worth, the small crafts are still flying here in NJ

VFR pilots don't need no steenking flight plans!

“She says per Homeland Security it’s an FAA problem- no apparent terrorism connection.”

Didn’t the Feds say the same thing when the first plane hit the Trade Center?

[Kimberly GG]

Hey...I typed it exactly as it was spoken/heard ;)

[PeterFinn]

VFR would not be affected

[thefactor]

was it this guy?

[McGruff]

ROFL You crazy woman.

“I’m getting word in my office of a DDoS attack being responsible for this. And it isn’t just the east coast being hit.”

Sounds likely yours is the information that is on track...keep us posted, will you? Seems to be in line with the Russian hackers story posted, (here?) this past week.

[rintense]

Is this the Die Hard 2 terrorist scenario?

[FlashBack]

Thanks for the pic...got me in trouble here!!

[uglybiker]

Just a guess but I’d go with the Russians.

Or some pimply-faced kid living in his Mom's basement.

[Mad Dawgg]

"And who wants to bet the g***amned Russians are behind it?"

Or a faction who wants us to assume its the Russians, or the Chinese, or the ____________.

If its hacking it could be anyone including some 23 year old wannabe Anarchist keyed up on too many Red Bull Cocktails and living in his Mom's Basement in Duluth Minnesota.

[penelopesire]

None of the networks are covering it now. Back to the dem convention...(eye roll)

[Velveeta]

Good to know.

[am452]

I hate to say it, but CNN is far superior to FOX on this type of story, and it’s being proven right now

Yep. Know if a missing white pretty blonde girl was involved...

[6ppc]

Faulkner of FOX said she was speaking to the office of the FFA

Why would she be speaking to the office of the Future Farmer's of America? ;^)
