The Federal Aviation Administration announced that a nationwide system outage was likely due to incompetence on the part of some personnel.
A preliminary review supported the agency's conclusion Wednesday that the outage was due to a damaged database file; the question now being explored is how the file was damaged.
The review blamed employees who didn't follow the proper procedures.
"The agency determined that a data file was damaged by personnel who failed to follow procedures. The system is functioning properly, and cancellations today were below one percent," the FAA said in a statement obtained by Reuters.
The FAA did not say which procedures were skipped that led up to the situation.
Ok, it still doesn't explain the 50 air refuilers in the air along the eastern United States, When you have fuelers up and flying you have fighers in the air too!

FAA Boss: "Hey George, just tell them that someone fucked up." George: "They won't believe that. Will they?" FAA Boss: "They bought safe and effective." George: "Oh yeah.....You're right! ...... dumb fucks!"
Starts at the top
What about the one in Canada which also went down same day? According to a friend of mine at FAA it is a superior system.
Yeah nice cover story, there was some big military OP happening. I doubt we'll ever know what the hell was going on there.
The main CI hit were sattellites.
Was no bueno.
Explanation?
Don't get me wrong: dumb people fuck stuff up all the time. Ask anyone in IT... Or any job, really.
What gets me is I find it unlikely (not impossible) that one data file that is of critical importance doesn't have access control and near-instant restoration in case of failure. State DMV software developed in house by government employees, and propriety 3rd party vendor software has this... (I know, ee have guys that installed it for clients at the day job). I guarantee the FAA has something a little more robust.
They say the horse rots from the top...guess that would be BUTTIGIGGGG!!!!
Canada in late afternoon too? Hmmm
OF cource they did!
"IT teams" run by Democrats and staffed by Chinese and Indian slaves. What could go wrong?
LOL no, sorry, this is nearly impossible if you know how DB's work.
What a bunch of Bullshit!!
Beaten by little Johnny Tables i bet...
