With the Federal Aviation Administration's Notice To all Air Missions, or NOTAM, system back up and running, staffing remains high and systems monitoring is at an urgently high level this morning, a senior official told ABC News Thursday.
Computer traffic on the NOTAM system is at super-high levels as airlines, pilots and airports start the day with normal flight operations while also trying to make up for delays and cancellations yesterday. At the same time, public and media computer traffic on the NOTAM system is running high because of global interest in the antiquated system that crashed on Wednesday.
The ground stop order that paused all airplane domestic departures and the FAA systems failures Wednesday morning appear to have been the result of a mistake that occurred during routine scheduled systems maintenance, according to a senior official briefed on the internal review.
An engineer "replaced one file with another," the official said, not realizing the mistake was being made. As the systems began showing problems and ultimately failed, FAA staff feverishly tried to figure out what had gone wrong. The engineer who made the error did not realize what had happened.
Engineers and IT teams are working to keep the system from crashing again today while they also try to figure out if there are any similar systems that could fail without redundancies.

LOL!
Probably precautionary. Doesn’t prove it wasn’t an engineer error, only that TPTB don’t know in real time if it’s an engineer error or the prelude to an attack.

The real question, is the engineer Woke?
Was the database damaged by former coal miners and pipeline workers who "learned to code?"

🔥🔥🔥81 REFUELERS WERE ON TRANSPONDERS BETWEEN 9AM AND 2 PM EST... BUT ONLY A HANDFUL OF FIGHTERS ON TRANSPONDERS...
Was it he who redefined the NOTAM acronym from “Notices to Airmen” to “Notices to Air Missions”

Did he do Canada’s, too...?
That dude gets around!
The NOTAM was a cover for something else.
This is the same govt that told us:
Hillary is the smartest woman in the world
Trump is a threat to national security
The border is secure
Wear a mask and get your shot.

The NOTAM system is separate form the air traffic system so it is unlikely it took down the air traffic system. It took days to get the air traffic control System back up and traffic back in the air after 911.
There has to be more to the story than a db file was copied over. I was a Unix admin for 30 years. Early reports said that a database file was damaged. Given the old age, I bet it was a flat db file. The system crashed and the file system inodes got damaged. They had to restore the file from backup. It is hard to imagine a scenario where an engineer copied over a production db file.
I worked on a fed contract with the DOE. There were a lot of systems that had single points of failure. This old system was probably chugging along for 30 years until it finally crapped the bed.
