Amtrak went down. This is a coordinated attack, or else a false flag to give The Hogfather an excuse for martial law. Seems like it happened very soon after the G∅P got their asses handed to them, no?
Or just Amtrak’s system not being able to handle a massive increase in load as ppl hug the reservations system trying to get on trains. A natural DDOS attack.
Lmao Amtrak’s booking system can hardly handle normal traffic.
🤣🤣
It’s certainly too wide spread on too many systems that should have been isolated to not be a simple fuck up or bug.
somebody did this. Who remains to be seen, and we’ll probably never really know for sure.
Maybe a failure cascade? Microsoft’s systems tie into a lot of industries.
FAA ATC type things should have enough redundancies that a failure by MS shouldn’t ground planes.
Same with NWS’s systems.
Same with 911 call service.
They also shouldn’t all be on the same patch schedule. It’s also not exactly been confirmed it was all related to the MS outage.
I don’t think they anticipated this blowout. I think this result gave boost to everyone that almost everyone hates this administration. Maybe martial law was his plan, but I don’t think trying to declare martial law now will work anymore.
I find it fascinating that they got so upset when Ukraine bombed the datacenters in Russia. What if they were meant to play a role in this election? I mean if they attempted hacking the voting machines, doing it from US or any Western territory risked being exposed, but if it happened from Russia that’s where a lead would end.
No explanation or cause (yet), just dusting their hands and telling the public they won’t stop transit. Clowns. Have a good flight, America!
Edit- “An update to the private communications network that connects America’s air traffic control system caused the system to reboot, leading to a crash and a communications outage, multiple sources told CBS News.”
Please do not use the word crash in a software sense (i.e. stopped working) when talking about aircrafts and aviation
Never push to production on a Friday.
wutcha talking about. Just hit ‘commit’ without ever checking. It’s okay. the LLM sexbot used to develop it works just fine. you can trust it. It knows what it’s doing.
When reporters asked if it was AI, Duffy said that “we call it SI around here”, so he said it, it was Super Incompetence.
What, like a dedicated circuit? One router reboot shouldn’t take down the whole thing.
Usually something this scale is bgp. A smaller event would just be a routing loop or other misconfiguration.
Probably haven’t been patched in a decade and hit a critical bug.
Right? How is this okay? I know they don’t care about the public but airlines gotta be pissed.
Well they did ask for $50 billion dollars to rebuild the comms system so not just dusting their hands, they’re also holding them out
It sounded like they were holding us hostage. Like, that press conference seemed like a threat.
Very much so. That dude was all but screaming and shaking the press by their shoulders and slapping them to wake them up to the reality that they need their money, and they want it now!
Probably AI. They rolled out an AI update to ATC on nov 10
50 billion dollars is a lot for some routers. Sounds more like they fucked up by installing AI – oh oops, SI.
Let me introduce you to FENS
Edit: Oh. I missed the B in Billion. Yeah that is nuts.
Edit 2: Yeah. That is a crazy number by all accounts.
“We failed to upgrade the router. This is why Congress needs to give us $50,000,000,000.” - Duffy
Transportation Secretary Duffy using this as a chance to save his ass, by praising his dear leader tRUMP. What a clown show, by syncophantic ass clowns.
Mullin did the same during an earlier press Q&A where he flailed around with wishy washy responses, at which point he decided it was time to praise the dickhole again.
They let AI take control and this shit happened. ROFL… get fucked.
They are SPECIFICALLY saying this isnt why it happened.
So almost certainly, this is why it happened.
Maybe the only good news for travelers tomorrow is that the airlines will have time to reposition planes and crew through the night.
Ground stop is over. Link on OP has confirmation
