...On Wednesday, the NCDOT sent out an alert which reads: “A High severity incident has been Added for I-40 Eastbound in Wake County in Raleigh,” before going on to list the incident as “Vehicle Accident: Women Drivers, Rain, Obama Care.” ... According to the transportation officials, the systems were being analyzed at the time of the incident and messages were only supposed to be sent internally. The IT contractor reportedly did not follow protocol, and the alerts were sent to the public mistakenly...
“The individual violated procedures by failing to turn off the external feed while testing and for the inappropriate test message content. The contractor was let go immediately for this action,” DOT officials said in a statement.

that is hilarious
Well... it’s not wrong, per se.
Surely, this is no worse than national news media releasing “test election results” showing Romney losing to Obama, right? Just a technical glitch...no way we could control it.
> that is hilarious
Absolutely. Sounds like a programmer decided to have a litte fun buti t mayend up costing him his job unless he can convince his boss that Anonymous or another hacker did It...: } >
Somebody got fired over this “glitch”. 0bama needs to be impeached over his lies.
Poor fellow, he probably was the one responsible for getting the system working, but the DOT officials took all the credit. That’s the way things work with some of these government types from my experience. The guys that are really good are the ones being kicked to the curb to make room for the rag-tag bunch of millennials who need a participation award to show up to work on time. Management loves these little nose browners, haha. Don’t believe me, another 932,00 dropped out of the labor force last month. It would be interesting to see the age breakdown on that.
I’ll have you know that the only wreck I have been in was not my fault. Also, I can squeeze my Honda Pilot in the compact car parking space with room to open the doors faster than any guy.
Please don't do that next to my car.
;)
Putting "ObamaCare" in, is what caused the hissy-fit.
No sense of humor. The "contractor" will do ok. My mother once told me that there were two times in her life when she "moved on" under less than perfect circumstances. Both times she bettered her situation.
I am a female Honda Pilot driver too, no wrecks that were my fault.
