JetBlue Computer System and Data Center Crash, Delay Thousands

https://www.yahoo.com/travel/jetblue-computer-system-and-data-center-crash-due-183420093.html

JetBlue customers across the country experienced a multitude of problems on Thursday when the low-cost carrier’s computer systems went down.

The airline posted an explanation on social media about the issues:

“We’re experiencing intermittent network issues due to a data center power outage. We’re working to resolve & should be restored shortly.”

Passengers took to their own social media accounts to express their frustration at delays, lines and customer service:




"Aeroflot", as I call it , is the only way to get from San Jose to Mom and Republican Stepdad in NYC without changing planes somewhere in Tornado Alley. And hasn't this happened to two other airlines recently?

They have these nifty devices called "backup generators". Been around since, oh, the Second World War at least.
