Airline “massive global computer failure”. Maybe they should have hired some smart geek living in a basement instead of that IT company (not named in the article!). And if ground software is hit, what about flight control?

Wow, what a terrible mess. The spirit of Chaos is rampant today.
Is this just the usual “computer glitch”?
My cynical self thinks that’s doubtful. The UK is definitely having a ‘moment’, isnt it? Considering all things Spectre and Brexit and Monarchy adjustments, false flags abound who knows? (the Shadow knows….) Also the bug that crashed the health care system…
I think flight control is a closed system, it´s not connected to the internet. Or I certainly hope so…
I think you are right, but does that mean that it is not hackable?
Maybe using USB stick it can be done. The same way they planted Stuxnet in Iranian nuclear facility.

This will be a reassuring thought for my next flight 🙂
