President Joe Biden and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg struggled Wednesday with the first Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ground stop of all flights nationwide since the terror attacks of Sep. 11, 2001.
As Breitbart News reported Wednesday morning: “Commercial airline flights in the U.S. were grounded Wednesday morning due to a mass system failure. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said it experienced a computer outage and was working to fix the problem.”
As Fox Business noted: “For the first time since the September 11th attacks, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has grounded all domestic flights Wednesday morning after suffering a nationwide technical outage.”

Only if he’s face down
“Hey oldguy. A lot of the brilliant, hard working old guys who have been maintaining systems like these for decades, have been retiring the last few years. Or in worse cases, dying off.”
I worked at a DR site and we kept a bank of old IBM reel tape drives for the Feds to use. One department would come in with 10 people and they would all stand around watching one guy work. :)
Its part of Space Force. They see everything that is going on and who’s naughty and who’s nice. Just like they watched all the election fraud in realtime in 2020 and 2022.
He has an exceptional ability to talk authoritatively and say absolutely nothing of substance.
Incompetence on parade! Elections have consequences. Sequential election of Congress and administrations with demented political agendas has consequences of historical proportions.
The billions we spend on ‘intelligence’ is a (90%) waste of money.
Pete is queer........ that’s his only qualification for office
Nice Job Pete, seems like every week we have another national transportation disaster.
Everything started getting really strange under Barky.
And his followers act like there’s nothing wrong.
Democrats put the mentally ill in charge of things and everything goes to crap. Not a surprise, more of a sign of a collapsed society.
How is that Buttgig workin out for ya?
“One department would come in with 10 people and they would all stand around watching one guy work.”
Now that “that guy” has retired, it is game over!
Democrat Leftists cannot govern because they don’t know how the real world actually works.
Is that criminal Trump trying to escape...I mean...take Melania to Acapulco?
😆
. . . and we can expect our infrastructure to continue its decay as the complexion of the country darkens. It’s terribly unfashionable to say such things, but it was those horrible white men who built this into a First World powerhouse. Our new population is simply incapable of maintaining it.
“The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said it experienced a computer outage and was working to fix the problem.”
Betcha they got hacked and just won’t admit it.
“I’d be curious to know just how new or how antiquated the systems that the FAA uses are.”
Since it’s the government, the computers are probably running on Windows 95 because they’re using a custom software that won’t run on anything else so they can’t upgrade.
Oh that is truer than you know. I have been told, not verified mind you, that there are still systems running COBOL in the govt....:) You will find older systems many times in state govts. not because there is no money to upgrade but because they won’t pay a competitive salary to attract the talent needed to upgrade these systems and maintain them. Some of my fellow grey haired IT buddies have been approached about doing upgrades, etc. but the pay offered is ridiculous. They can make more working part time than working for the govt. But that has always been the case sad to say.
