President Joe Biden on Wednesday responded to the news of a catastrophic Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) computer outage by ordering the department to turn the systems back on.

“The president directed DOT/FAA to restore the system quickly and safely, and to determine causes,” White House chief of staff Ron Klain informed the public on social media, asserting that Biden was on top of the situation.

.@POTUS was briefed by @SecretaryPete early this morning. @POTUS directed DOT/FAA to restore the system quickly and safely, and to determine causes. @SecretaryPete will provide @POTUS an update later this morning.

I am reminded of ex prez O some years ago while during the gulf oil fire when he ordered to “just put the damn thing out”.

Unplug it. Wait 30 seconds. Plug it back in.

Seriously though, “glitches” like this don’t just “happen.” Software that was working at 2:00 AM doesn’t simply stop working at 2:01 without an identifiable reason. In most cases, that reason is human.

The only thing Diapers Biden should be ordering is a happy meal from McDonalds..

ROFL!

It was probably already back fully operational, he just wanted to take credit for it.

We should all send prayers up for the safety of those flying today, too, because who knows what is really going on.

Thank you.

I'm a relative noob, but when I lurked it would have been earlier in the thread.

We need to double our efforts. We have a reputation in the marketplace, after all.

Sure...

Just means that they (the ruling communists) acquired all the important data they will need when the time comes...

The next tests might include shutting down the nationwide electrical grids or shutting down all interstate highways...

It takes more than just turning those machines back on, Joe. You have to log in as well. Check under the keyboard for a yellow sticky with the password on it.

A headline worthy of The Bee!

“Hey! Who turned off the airline whatchamajig? Those gimcracks and gewgaws pilots depend on to fly their contraptions need to be flipped back on, toot sweet! It ain’t like the ‘60’s, back when I was flyin’ Jennies in college for the Postal Service. The skies are full of whirlybirds, gyro-copters, and goodness knows what manner of aero-jets and flying clippers. They’d fly smack into each other without their thingamabobs and whatchamadoodles to straighten ‘em up an’ fly right!” —Go Brandon
