FAA issues nationwide flights ground stop ‘due to extraordinary circumstances' and ‘safety'

Whether the cause was purely technical, stemming from a malfunctioning infrastructure, or a cyberattack disguised as a "technical glitch," the operational outcome is the same: it has been practically demonstrated that it is possible to completely shut down American airspace without firing a single shot. This, in itself, represents a resounding wake-up call for the Pentagon and the US National Security Council to fortify their critical networks and completely isolate them from any digital vulnerabilities.
 
The SC said:
In just one week, terrorist threats targeted airports, schools, and train stations across Europe, causing widespread panic.
Microsoft systems went down for two or three days, causing problems even at the US National Institutes of Health.
Now, US airspace is completely closed, and there are problems with train systems and more.
A week before that, a massive cyberattack hit European warehouses and supermarkets, causing overheating and spoiling thousands of tons of goods.
And for the past two weeks, almost the entire West has been warning against stockpiling food, cash, and essentials for a few days to a week or two.
Anyone who thinks all of this happening in a single week is a coincidence, is just too damn naive.

I am probably one of the least conspiracy theory person in this forum but does make you wonder what is coming up next.
 
reminds me of the covid PLANdemic as well, and now this.
Some of those that hold the power are showing us what chaos they can cause, i'm disappointed in the US agencies for national security.....this is a exposed hole/gap!

is something big brewing? Time will tell i guess since nobody seems to have a clue.
this is the age of disruption and disturbance

Although the microsoft outage didn't last even a full 24 hours.....it happened yesterday afternoon and then it recovered this morning......so not even a full workday. Its recovered since and operating normal

what else are those satanists planning for us all?
 
PRobably this happened

On a more serious note, National Wide Ground Stop are very rare and usually require a NOTAM; the NBAA Air Traffic Service made a post a few hours ago saying FRQ and RDR outages at ARTCC and Terminal. Which is big.

For those of you who weren't pilots. ATC systems are multi-layered. You have your local frequencies like Tower, Departure, Ground, and then you have regional ATC where guide you and maintains two-way comm with you while you are airborne and transit through different sectors. As far as I understand, the issue is between Regional ATC and Terminal Control, which means technically you can take off or receive an aircraft. But once they are airborne and out of your local radar range, you can't hand them off to another Sector because the comm link was down or the radar system was down.

Which means the problem is very likely on either the uplink side (Sector/Regional ATC logged into the same ATC network and get live updates, which means either the comm is dead (no packet) or they aren't synced to each other's station, or the National Radar Service is down (Or might even be NORAD, but it's unlikely, as DOD would have done something), and radar screens aren't shared between sectors

Now, whether this is just a bug or user error or is an attack remain to be seen, but if the Regional Comm is down, that's bad, and if the Radar Services is down, then it would be even worse.
