U.S. Flights Grounded Updates | Biden Says ,'We Don't Know' What Caused
Flight Stoppage' | USA News

President Joe Biden on Wednesday said top Transportation Department and
Federal Aviation Administration officials aren’t sure what has caused a
computer outage that led the FAA to halt aviation takeoffs across the US
earlier in the day but suggested the cause would be known soon.

Biden didn't say that.

When did it become the President's job to run the FAA, the DOT and the
nation's airports? Inquiring minds want to know.

I just watched that report. Biden said the DOT secretary and FAA
don't yet know (as of 2 days ago) what the cause of the problem was.
It was sorted quickly and schedules resumed after just a few hours.

But they do know now. "Corrupted file to blame for FAA aviation
stoppage that delayed thousands of flights
The system was restored after it halted all departures across the
country. "

Iow, spending cuts forcing the FAA (among other agencies) to depend on
outmoded hardware and software caused the problem.

Btw, if they had not grounded that traffic and a plane had crashed,
this wouldn't be a matter of whiny Republicans trying to find fault
with what turned out to be a computer glitch, it would be a national
scandal and heads would be rolling.
