My conspiracy theory is this was deliberate sabotage by the Trump administration as part of their campaign of retaliation against the American people for the recent election. They may not have flipped a switch, but very likely saw the outage coming and sullenly declined to lift a finger to mitigate any potential harm to the ungrateful voters.

The FAA implemented the SMART AI tool 3 days ago. The National Air Traffic Controllers Association said it was NOT consulted or involved in the “design, testing, or implementation of SMART and therefore cannot speak to its effect on the air traffic control workforce.”

Squarely on this administration's shoulders. Total inept. Yet they spend millions on a damn ballroom.

-C!

Microsoft down, FAA down, last week it was supermarket and
blood bank fridges across Europe and fridges at a U.S.
military camp being hacked into going overtemp. Last year
Portugal and Spain had a blanket power blackout. We are far
too reliant on computers and the internet now. My employer
suffered a cyber attack last year, and it fucked up
operations for about 6 months.
