President Joe Biden and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg struggled Wednesday with the first Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ground stop of all flights nationwide since the terror attacks of Sep. 11, 2001.
As Breitbart News reported Wednesday morning: “Commercial airline flights in the U.S. were grounded Wednesday morning due to a mass system failure. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said it experienced a computer outage and was working to fix the problem.”
As Fox Business noted: “For the first time since the September 11th attacks, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has grounded all domestic flights Wednesday morning after suffering a nationwide technical outage.”

I imagine Buttigieg enjoys getting flummoxed.
They are still trying to figure out how to blame it on Trump or Russia.
I doubt either of them could tell you what a blade server is, or what a RAID is...:)
As an aside...systems can and do fail. However in the case of the FAA I am surprised there is not an automatic fail over process in place. I’d be curious to know just how new or how antiquated the systems that the FAA uses are.
Technically, they’d have to have brains to be flummoxed.
Butt, at least the Secretary of Transportation is gay, so there’s that . . .
The continuing saga and tales (or should that be “tails”?) of Pete Buttplug.
Coulda stopped at “Biden, Buttigieg Flummoxed”
Old Butt-Judge is too busy trying to determine how he can screw Southwest Airlines and position himself as a viable Presidential candidate (even though he is not and cannot ever be made “viable”) off of the Southwest Airlines passenger debacle, to worry about his own deluded, idiotic departments who are literally screwing ALL airline passengers in America!!
LOL!
There doesn’t appear to be any FAA grounding.
Flights are moving along. What are they talking about?
Nice Job Pete, seems like every week we have another national transportation disaster.
Schumer called Buttboy...always has to get in his 2 cents.
Perfect example of what you get with diversity and affirmative action hiring practices.
Give somebody a job because of what they are instead of the best candidate for the job and it’s a recipe for disaster......always has been.
Saw it for 30 years with the DoD.....it rarely worked out well.
Hey oldguy. A lot of the brilliant, hard working old guys who have been maintaining systems like these for decades, have been retiring the last few years. Or in worse cases, dying off.
They’re not easily replaced. Especially by this new crop of talent, which is thin.
Also, not a lot of those guys were that interested in upgrading their systems before hitting the door. The systems were reliable, so they just rode them to the finish line, and left technology in place that is due for refresh.
The obvious result is instability. We shouldn’t be surprised if issues like this grow, as more boomers retire, either. I’m dealing with this same problem where I work right now. The only upside is, age discrimination isn’t as big as it was a few years ago.
“Atlas Shrugged” is not just a novel from the 1950s, it’s the Biden administration’s game plan.
Imagine if every car and truck was controlled by a computer system, which is where we are headed.
I may have to get a horse and wagon.
There is a lot of shite going on behind the scenes right now. Sky Hunters were up Monday. Most likely somebody was trying to leave the country that they didn’t want leaving. The system doesn’t just work for departures. If it was a real failure all the planes in the air would have been told to land at the nearest airport. Not just routinely carry on.
Desperation in incompetent management can do that.
Oh I can’t wait for how proudly and confidently Buttigeig will tell us everything is perfectly under his complete control and is already handled. (while he’s in an airport in Portugal)
Is he pregnant again?
