Over the past several years I’ve grown to doubt more and more whatever government – any government – tells us. This past week an apparent computer issue ground ALL airline departures. This was the first US national grounding of flights since 9/11. Initial theories started with questioning if the outage was the result of a cyberattack to a simple computer malfunction. As thousands of travelers sat in airports waiting for the problem to be corrected – a very similar occurrence occurred in Canada.
What a coincidence.
FAA officials said a preliminary review traced the problem to a damaged database file, but added that there was no evidence of a cyberattack and the investigation continued. The same file corrupted both the primary system and its backup according to sources. I have a bit of experience dealing with cyberattacks. In my experience many of the ransomware that cyberterrorists utilize today do precisely that – infect main files as well as backups.
Canada announced that the events which occurred with their outage were not related to the happenings in the United States.
Hmmmmmm………
I guess it’s possible.
We’ve recently seen multiple attacks on power stations, and now this?
What’s next?

Could it be cyber attack, archaic equipment, laziness and sloppiness, take a pick, but one thing for sure, piss poor leadership.
Right on- Rourke and John P Arlene
is it my old self, but does anyone but me remember back before everything was connected to the internet and everything worked just fine. the lights were always on, and the planes landed on schedule.
the more you over do the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the pipes.
it’s just common sense.
I’m sure more to come. Over half a million got-a-ways at the boarder.
I’m sure they’re all nice people!
You know that these were caused by solar flares & they are going to get a lot worse in the near future as well
War is coming, and it’s not with Russia.
