FAA Computer Glitch - Starting to seem Dangerous
The FAA experienced a 'computer glitch' again today.
You know one of those simple little gitches with the computers that route thousands of planes through our nations airport all day long. The computer that makes sure that no planes play bumper planes in the sky. They aren't really made for that.
This is not the first time its happened, and fortunately nothing tragic has happened, but this problem seems to happen fairly regularly these days. If they can't get a handle on this problem, something terrible is going to happen and then we are going to be looking at something kind of like a mix between Hurricane Katrina and 9/11. The result will be worse than both, because once again our government will have failed, but instead of blaming it on a natural disaster or crazy terrorists, they will only be able to blame themselves and their own incompetence.
