I hope nobody has family on an Airplane today. It is no joke that three thousand planes are in the air and can’t land on their scheduled stops.


    • The Order: The FAA Command Center ordered all departing traffic to remain grounded until further notice due to air traffic control (ATC) frequency and radar communication issues. [1, 2, 3]
    • Impact on Flights: Flights already airborne are not being forced to land immediately, while arriving international flights are being handled on a case-by-case basis. [1, 2]
    • Cause: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy noted that technicians are investigating a communication issue affecting Air Route Traffic Control Centers across the national airspace. [1]
 
They are letting the planes land on a case by case basis, but they have not specified any cause for this except that it is an extreme emergency of some kind. It seems possible to me that it could be related to what happened to Microsoft, and I had read that other places besides Microsoft had some problems.

They are also reporting that the Doppler radar is being affected. When I look at the weather channel, I can still see the weather , so it must be something different that is being affected by the outage.
It is also being reported online that our military air bases are on a high alert, so there may be more going on than just a technical misfunction of some kind, or at least, it could lead to more, since our protections are not working properly right now.

Something went out in the communications systems. Currently there is still flight traffic. Of course military bases go on high alert.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the Microsoft meltdown that occurred yesterday?

What an unsettling feeling it would be to be in the air on a flight.

That was my thought as well.

The other thing on my local news was the tanker that crashed into a riverboat cruise ship sround noon and sunk it. Thankfully all were rescued.

I’ve had enough. I’m watching Hallmark Christmas movies- reruns but better than the news🥸🥸
