All American planes grounded. What's the REAL truth?

you beat me to it...
yes, The new world order has begun. Aliens took over the FAA at 5:43am, infiltrating the computer systems. They rebooted the systems and were up and running later that day, staffed with many aliens!
Now whenever someone takes a flight they will be delivered to the alien space ship "for processing". They won't know they were processed because of the meds they put in the air on the plane intakes, sinister! Everyone flying will become zombie aliens.
You can't find the alien space ship in space because it's invisible!
It's the end of the human race...
By the way, the aliens like chocolate, so you an still bribe them...
Don't know anything about it but off the top of my head my guess would be:
Problem, reaction, solution.
So, someone decided they would benefit from renewing the air traffic control computer systems presumably gaining control of it in some way which wasn't the case previously.
So you create a PROBLEM with the system whether real, imagined or fabricated etc, the REACTION is then that the computers need to be 'fixed'.
And bingo bango
the tax payer is now lining your pockets as you strip the common man of his freedom in some way.
So, business as usual in a fascist dictatorship.
Presumably we can expect some sort of air based terror event which we can then be thankful wasn't worse under the old system and then give up more of our money and freedom to solve that problem.
Could be any of the possibilities you mentioned😎 But I'd also be interested in seeing if rival airlines are looking to buy and gain a majority of each others' shares. Plus, the price of fuel for airlines has also gone up (just like it's gone up for all of us car/truck/SUV drivers). I'll do some research on this myself later on. Great topic! โโโโ😁
The air temporarily got too thin for planes to fly, leaking out of the ozone hole and all. All the politicians needed to get together and fill it up with hot air after NASA patched the hole.
They just want to call it a computer problem to avoid mass panic.

It was a simple computer system failure that prevented commercial pilots from accessing NOTAMs (Notice TO Air Missions), which are informational things about the status of flying, and have an indirect affect on safety. A typical NOTAM might include a runway out of service, military exercises to avoid, etc. It's a requirement that commercial flights check for NOTAMs before they are granted flight clearance. As a result, the FAA ordered a ground stop for all commercial planes in the US between about 6am and 9am on 11-Jan-2023.
That resulted in the cancellation of about 700 flights nationwide, and about 1500 delayed. By mid-afternoon, flights were pretty much back to normal, after the NOTAM system was back up and running.
I manage nationwide information systems for a living, and if my system goes down at peak times we lose gobs of money. So, when someone says 'computer glitch,' the way I read that is: OK who fucked up because I'll fire his ass? Because the computer did what it was supposed to do. So, let's look at the facts: 1) it's a useless, outdated federal system run by federal employees 2) it happened during a peak travel time 3) not a cyberattack. That leaves two possibilities in the domain of software or hardware: 1) that new idiot they hired to push system updates 2) that new idiot they hired to ensure business continuity in case of hardware failure, if that guy even exists.
"Would never happen here, we signal to planes by waving flags. Can't break a flag. "
You have no idea the vast scale of the United States. In Las Vegas alone you can see caravans of plans only a few 10km apart. You can't use flags, you can't even see Flags. Harry Reid Airport has a plan taking off or landing every fifteen minutes, and that's just in Las Vegas. We need an Automated system because, at this rate, your looking at an exponential increase in accidents with a death toll reaching the millions. Yes fucking millions of people in the air at risk.
Ultimately it looks like it got knocked out due to incompetence.
My money is on the Emos back in Australia. Those birds has been quiet for too long in my opinion and there is a clear connection between birds and flying! Open and shut case I think you will find! Next thing you know the invasion will start with Pearl Harbor 2, electric boogaloo into the 2nd Emu war.
I worked at Arlanda/Stockholm airport foe five years about 12 years ago. So this computer issue they went out with is very accurate because you would be very surprised on how ancient the systems being used are. It's mind blowing, in a very bad way.
The planes are technologically advanced and have acheived self awareness... One plane was overheard telling the flight crew "I never agreed to let you inside me... get out": and "get your disgusting meaty paws away from my instrument panel"...
It's probably Trump's and MAGA Republicans fault, right? And maybe it's racism, global warming. Or maybe Russian, Chinese and Iranian hackers. Or maybe it's The Jews, Freemasons, the Illuminati, Bilderbergers, the CFR, the Alt Right, Neo Nazi's maybe even SPECTRE.
Actually, I buy this. The FAA's computer systems are from the 1980s. It's as bad as the IRS. This doesn't surprise me at all and I'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner.
Same thoughts
@purplepoppy... the other thing I'm hearing is that this isn't the part of the system that knows where planes are or controls them, etc., this is the system that handles NOTAMs (NOtice To AirMen) -- those are advisories to flight crews.
So their is actually a space battle going on currently and the holograms they use to hid it are not working so they don't want to send planes up otherwise people will find out
It is an attempt by the Biden administrator to keep all those Trump supporters from traveling around the country where the could be up to God knows what?
I hope it isn't some security clearence concerns I raised yesterday (entirely informally) but couldn't tell you, even if I am a computing scientist/architect and engineer by vocation and by trade/guild.
Terrorist aliens armed with covid needles are holding everyone hostage
There is air traffic.. 4 planes passed me. I seen it on the flightware app too
It was the Aliens, just can't figure out the species.
automated idiocy tests lock down cockpit if they detect dangerous levels of stupidity. kind of like the cars with breathalyzer lock down. unintended (or intended) side effect, no American can start a plane...
That it's like computers hun. Not everything is a conspiracy, like people want to believe, cause they're INSANE
Most people will blame Trump or Biden.

Whatever is going wrong in the world today, you can be sure of one thing: it's Trump's fault.
Watch CNN and then watch FOX news. Put in pot and stir. Throw on nearest wall and see whatever sticks!
i heard that it wasnโt anything that could prevent landings and flying of the planes.
Don't worry, mayor pete is on the case! As soon as he's done with his train set and having a train run on him.
