Massive worldwide airline computer outage Friday July 19th 10:00 am!

[RobDownSouth]

Evidently a "vendor" to most of the world's major airlines had a "glitch in the matrix" causing a massive worldwide shutdown of flights this morning. Major airlines already issuing travel waivers. Delta, United and American are the big boys affected...all the way down to Qantas and Spirit airlines.

Terminals are packed to capacity with passengers, traffic at a standstill at Atlanta-Hartsfield, Chicago-Ohare and Dallas Fort Worth. American Airlines appears to be recovering quickly.

Good weather everywhere, but a bad day to travel nonetheless.

Thoughts and Prayers to the MAGA conventioneers stuck with the lesser folks.

Sounds like a multi-billion dollar lawsuit .....


The outages, which stalled internal and external systems on Microsoft-based computers, were caused by a faulty update from CrowdStrike -- an American cybersecurity technology firm that provides cloud workload protection, threat intelligence and cyberattack response services

CrowdStrike said the outage was not a due to a cyberattack but rather a software issue that had been identified. A fix has since been deployed, the company said.

"From a report: Customers can delete a specific file called C00000291*.sys, which is seemingly tied to the bug, "

Apparently a single file in an update had no data ... empty file.

We probably won't ever know who wrote or released the file.

It was a null pointer error in the code. Similar to Y2K code.
