Title: UPS grounded all of its planes
Post by: Balog on September 11, 2014, 03:10:42 AM

On 9/11/14 due to "possible computer issues." Smells like a credible threat of a compromised plane to me. http://www.fly.faa.gov/adv/advADB.jsp

Seems to me I recall there have been hijacked cargo planes recently... like the last year or so.

I wonder if the sailboat parts I ordered yesterday and paid 2 day air on so I could fix my boat this weekend were FedEx or UPS?  :facepalm:

Zero lines at security. Fastest ever through terminal c ever. Is that a sign no one is flying?

Looks like the FAA page changes. This might work.

Based on that it was only for an hour and 15 minutes or so.  Over and done with.
