I saw a woman at the Airport she was unconscious. Medical staff was able to revive her because she was running on Windows 98.

[smarteveryday]

uh oh, some microsoft intern is sweating in the corner

[Samantharose.__]

I JUST landed from a flight with United and the flight itself was first delayed, than they had to MANUALLY head count everyone. And the TVs needed to be rebooted and the speakers the flight attendants speak on was completely static! Super weird to say the least!

This is why monopolys are dangerous, more people need to start using Linux/ iOS etc.

Extremely interesting! The hospitals, auto zone, airports many places are down!!!! This is a sign that all of this technology is not good and could this be a cyber attack

[jayhorton]

Exactly why we can't go digital 😂😂

[Whitedevil]

People dont realize how bad this really is, i work with natural gas ! We are not able to monitor gas lines or line pressure at the moment !

[kazuyoshisakamoto]

The cancellation or delay of flights worldwide would undoubtedly have a major impact.

[macbrebonicks]

The captain just said the plane is running on Microsoft Flight Simulator.

So it begins, a massive IT failure, next is the power outages. Then what?

[patrickphelan]

There is no aircraft safety issue; however, all operational coordination concerning route, flight plan, performance crew, schedule, etc, is done on the ground. This also feeds into communication between agencies, necessary for flight ops. Airborne aircraft are safe, but may encounter delays or work-arounds.

The fault came from crowdstrike issue, do your work Bloomberg

[Shiggystardust]

This just shows that once ai decides to take over, it’ll happen overnight

[fluxfaze]

So glad I never allowed Microsoft into my business environment.

[niakittyko]

Me and my family were in the Utah airport and we just left. Flights all got cancelled and the messed up part was that delta made us get on the plane just for us to get off again.

[BBlueSSky]

This is the main reason why I never rely on computers. Without the internet computers and mobile phones are useless.

[willyklips]

i literally know nothing about this issue but something is fishy!

[Jay-hrrh]

I told my wife about three months ago that this was inevitable.

[HaxaNz]

What's going on with the planes in the air?

[myleshoward]

I'm stuck at an airport until this fix
