I hope you had a nice holiday weekend. The highlight of our weekend was a black bear parading past the American flag in our backyard.
We didn’t go out of town, but some travelers faced severe delays due to a computer failure. CBS reports on a problem holiday travelers faced at Chicago’s O’Hare airports:
For most of the morning, one glance at the departure board told you all was not well at United. Rather than “on time,” or “delayed,” many flight status messages read “computer failure.”
About the only good news about this computer malfunction is that it wasn’t throughout the entire United system. This problem was only at O’Hare. Back in 2007 that wasn’t the case. On June 20, 2007, a similar glitch grounded hundreds of United flights for at least two hours across the country.
