according to The Express:
“Hundreds of flights across the United States remain grounded after The Federal Aviation Administration suffered a catastrophic system error sparking travel chaos for thousands of passengers. An issue with the NOTAMS safety alert system was first reported on January 10 sparking widespread problems across the US and abroad. Technicians from the Air Traffic Control System Command Center are working flat out to fix the problem but warned passengers to buckle up for long delays. A message on their website warned passengers: “The NOTAMS outage continues with no current estimated time of restoration. A hotline has been activated.”

The attacks reportedly resulted in targeted "denial of public access" to public-facing websites that report airport wait times and congestion. The cyber hit was first reported around 3am EST (9am BST). America's cybersecurity agency was notified by the Port Authority that it had detected an attack on the systems used for LaGuardia airport, New York City.

Public websites shouldn’t be taking down anything critical.
It’s not like wait times matter to getting flights on and off the ground, and it doesn’t have anything to do with radar work.

United Airlines, Arlington Heights, IL About 1985?
A plumbing leak in their underground operations center shut down a central computer that recorded maintenance data from all UAL planes.
ALL PLANES ON THE GROUND REMAINED, ALL IN FLIGHT TO REMAIN AT THEIR DESTINATION.
It took hours to re-boot the computer, a huge event and they had a dollars per minute cost on it; MEGA$$$

“It ain’t hardware and software failure unlikely.”
Just hours after the committee was set up to investigate China? Coincidence?
Next week it’ll be a full EMT. They’ll show us.
