The FAA Flight System is down; what is up with that?
How could a powerful computer system go entirely down?
And according to the reports, it is the first time this has happened.
And with that said, they have had plenty of time to install redundancy systems, so if one fails, the other should kick in without delay.
This goes much deeper than what we are hearing. The disruption of flights today will take days to recover from and to return to normal operation. There should have been lessons learned Airlines from the breakdown of Southwest Airlines during Christmas. But again, how does this happen, and why wasn't it fixed?
Clearly a lot of unknowns. In the next few weeks, more reports will come about what really happened.
