The root cause of the longest halt in flight departures to U.S. airports since 9/11 remains unclear after a Saturday press conference by U.S. transportation officials.
Routers and networking equipment appeared to be involved in the technological disruption that grounded flights across the country, but a definitive cause has not been established as of Saturday afternoon.
The inability to pinpoint the reason for the infrastructure malfunctions led the Federal Aviation Administration to take actions that resulted in the grounding order, Bryan Bedford, administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration, told reporters.
Root cause UNKNOWN?
Cool so you’re saying it’s literally unsafe to fly at any point now. Not the usual unsafe risks, there’s actively some kind of bug in your system that can bring the whole thing down and you’re going to live with UNKNOWN?
This is what they say when someone they like fucked up and they need time to find a scapegoat.
Which is scarier?
They genuinely don’t know, or they do know and this is a foundational event for future excuses around potential catastrophies.
Therefore the reason they need $50b is also unknown. You can’t ask for $50,000,000,000 and then come up with the reason later.
Wait, didn’t they first DOGEed them to the bones?
You can’t, but they can
Cause unknown, no investigation needed.

Aka, they know they fucked up and don’t want it investigated.
This administration is chock full of clowns - it might stay a mystery for a little while but, eventually, someone’s gonna blab to someone else and then we’ll all know what exactly the idiot brigade did to fuck up this badly.
They are the root cause. Over and over.
more like SEAN duffys son has a ai startup pitched to him for under 850mil contract, you mean that unknown cause?, which was then used the ATC system.
Remember all those people who where obsessed with false flags? Did they just pull one?
They were pretty quick to throw blame at L3 without a completed investigation. I’m wondering if L3 pissed off the orange turd and so they staged the whole thing just to tank their stock.
Even my cat knows this is total BULLSHIT.

They need time to figure out what the lie root cause is and provide a proper lie to cover.
A five-why will track back to a white house.
Stop suggesting these arcane magic strategies of logical thinking. You will end up burned as a witch.
I thought it was caused by the M365 downtime that cascaded into systems that assumed it would never go down?
Doubt it. If the US gov’t knew it was a 3rd party, they’d annouce it in big, bold letters.
These signalling systems existed years before Office Online. More likely them testing SMART on a Friday
The most powerful and technologically advanced country on the planet has an ATC system with a single point of failure?
Nah.
