Relax. Just another software update of cable cut. Nothing to see here, move on.

My office was chaos yesterday when Outlook went out. I can only imagine what is going on right now at the FAA and airports across the country. So glad I'm not flying or stuck in an airport right now.
Didn't I hear somewhere that they're still using floppy discs for some things at airports?
Could this be a cyber attack by China/Russia/Iran?

Seems like AMTRAK is also now down
I don’t care what they tell us, this is an attack of some sort
Against, speculation - but the rumors for a while have been to stock up……..this could be a pre cursor to that impact !!!
If the power grids get attacked there will be rioting in the streets I fear

Feels like an attack. Zero information coming out, considering it started at 2pm EDT. That 5 hrs of “no updates yet.”
Flights Above Me still shows 100s of flights in the air, seems like if it was an attack they would all be on the ground by now.
Trains are still running, Amtrak’s system is crashing because everyone who can’t fly is trying to get a train.
No new departures, planes in the air can continue to destination. But full ground stop, no new planes in the air.
Yes, between the Microsoft chaos, the FAA ground stop, this does not seem to be a coincidence. I think there's something more going on.

I don’t thinks it’s actually a cyber attack, just saying that it feels like something is up due to the suddenness and totality, nationwide. And no one is saying anything. Seems perfect for a conspiracy.
I get that, but on 9/11 all civilian planes were on the ground in less than 3 hours. It was land at the nearest airport, not continue to your destination.

It's also possible that the Microsoft issue triggered an FAA issue.

That’s because there were attackers potentially on them. There are no attackers on these planes. Big difference, but also a good point.

Iran keeps saying they'll escalate. Wonder if they've got a hand in it.
Could be sleeper agents even and not conventional hacking.

Are *all* flights grounded ?
What about VFR GA flights from uncontrolled airfields ?
Seems like those shouldn't be affected at all by an FAA software/network problem.

Trump is to blame ... Now we can impeach him on this eventI don’t thinks it’s actually a cyber attack, just saying that it feels like something is up due to the suddenness and totality, nationwide. And no one is saying anything. Seems perfect for a conspiracy.

Stuck upstairs all day, couldn't take the flight down. I think NY declared it a felony.
