CrowdStrike Fiasco Grounds Flights: Delta Cancelations Soar Amid Cyber Outage Chaos

The CrowdStrike outage has grounded over 5,000 flights and impacted 8.5 million Windows computers. Delta alone canceled 1,250 flights on Sunday. Meanwhile, President Biden’s exit from the 2024 race seems like old news.

Hot Take:

Who knew a tiny software glitch could turn airports into the ultimate waiting room experience? CrowdStrike might want to add “airline disruptor” to their resume. At least the baggage claim area is getting some extra love!

Key Points:

  • CrowdStrike’s faulty update caused a worldwide IT outage.
  • The outage impacted around 8.5 million Windows computers.
  • Delta Air Lines canceled over 5,000 flights due to the issue.
  • United Airlines also faced disruptions but recovered faster.
  • Global flight delays and cancellations are still ongoing.
