While "Computer glitches" are fairly normal, rarely does it result in a NATIONWIDE Ground Stop. Something serious happening?

The Secret Covert Action Servers in the WHitehouse Sub Basement...getting another workout
oh no it must be those Expert Hackers from Kin Jong Un-Hinged’s North Korean
an.... Oh Look a Squirrel moment perhaps?
No Fly List didn’t work today?
-PJ
American Airlines was grounded April 16, 2013 nationwide...
“No Fly List didn’t work today?”
Something like that is exactly what I was thinking...
Years back, I worked as a contractor for UAL.
Some plumbers had a leak near the main maintenance computer.
A liquid detection system shut everything down.
Alarms, flashing lights...without that system a plane on the ground stays on the ground.
I often wandered if they kept the unfortunate plumbers in a cage under the building.
Usually a software problem. They can’t check passengers in on flights.
WIN-BLOWS 10 probably
Maybe if, instead of spending $4 billion on a stock buyback, American had invested some of that money on their IT infrastructure, airplanes, people, and facilities then things like this wouldn’t happen?
The new American Airlines, off to a fine start.
Another Windows automatic update.
Probably mainframe or related systems.
Air Traffic Control System runs on a server hosted in a bathroom in Denver, Colorado.
Who Knew??
Just Breaking... ALL American Flights grounded until at least 2:30PM EST.
Why are the airlines using Standard Time?
The 14-year old muslim kid flew from Dallas to Washington, D.C. with his “clock” to meet Obama?
Coincides with the opening of the new combined operations center for AA and USAir flights. Probably sabotage by an unhappy employee.
