FAA grounds departing flights nationwide, citing air traffic communication system outage
The Federal Aviation Administration enacted a rare nationwide ground stop after telecommunications and radar failures disrupted air traffic control centers, halting over ten thousand flights. Officials ruled out security threats, citing technical instability as the cause. Airlines suspended departures to manage crew limits while recovery unfolded. Some international and cargo flights operated as investigators examined aging infrastructure and persistent system vulnerabilities.

QuoteSecretary of Transportation Sean Duffy said that switches and routers on the FAA's 'analog' system became overloaded with data, causing inconsistencies in communication with airlines. As a result, the decision was made to shut the system down. In a briefing at the White House, Duffy lambasted the aging infrastructure that the FAA relies on and said that President Trump is pushing for the funding needed update the equipment.
This is obvious bullshit that ANYONE with basic system knowledge knows is bullshit.
Analog systems don't use data. Data is digital.
Analog systems, really? They didn't have 7400 quad nand gates fifty years ago? The analog excuse might have been valid fifty years ago, and distributed systems would not suddenly develop a new mode in separate servers all running independently and communicating via network connections.
You are not going to convince me the operating system in Dallas infected the operating system in Denver. The hardware is independent and a software bug would not manifest this way and even if it did what do you do. Cycle the power just like I do if this system locks up. Undo the upgrade, maybe test it first?
Idiots in charge, but that's what America clearly wants. So do we say it's all good?
I thought Elon and D.O.G.E were supposed to take care of this shit. What happened, is he too busy blowing up rockets again? And perhaps Trump should not be using the FAA's computers to mine crypto. Somebody tell him those computers do not belong to him please.
Something is rotten in Denmark, but that actually won't be true until America steals Greenland. So something is rotten in America.
