Exactly...redundancy. Such a critical system should never have a "main server," as most business-critical systems would use a distributed architecture. This means they should be able to switch over to a backup system easily.

This seems more insidious, especially coming on the heels of the Southwest Airlines' glitch. Are our airlines and infrastructures being attacked? If so, by whom? Is the FAA investigating this? Is the FBI? Does it even matter to this administration?

The main server was under a desk and someone kicked the plug out. They can’t get the hard disk to spin up.

The story I heard was that they lost power to their main data center.

IOW, both commercial power and their backup source went bad.

Maybe, maybe not.
