The engineer who brought America to its knees - the FAA flight grounding debacle that stranded tens of thousands for hours and paralyzed the nation was caused by ONE employee who replaced the wrong file
2023-01-13
  • More than 11,300 flights were delayed or canceled Wednesday morning after an FAA system meltdown that prompted a grounding order

  • Close to 600 flights were delayed by midday Thursday as the system experienced a hangover from Wednesday's chaos

  • The corrupted file that caused the disastrous glitch was inserted by an engineer who didn't realize his mistake
