Oops: FAA Admits ‘Unintentionally Deleted
Files’ Caused Jan 11 Mass System Failure,
Nationwide Flight Chaos

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 1/20/2023 10:10:30 AM

A red faced U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) admitted Thursday its staff “unintentionally deleted files” in a key computer system causing the January 11 commercial airline ground stop, which affected more than 11,000 flights and caused mayhem for travelers. Reuters reports the FAA said the human error occurred while personnel were working “to correct synchronisation between the live primary database and a backup database”, and it had “so far found no evidence of a cyber attack or malicious intent.” The system outage occurred on January 10, but the ground stop was not issued until the following morning by which time countless flights were already being grounded

Sadly, we have reached a point where I question any explanation coming from any government agency. There have just been too many lies and cover ups. But if this one is true, it seems to me that as the new generations, brought up with the "everybody gets a medal" philosophy, take over running our systems incompetence seems to follow them. I did not sees in the article where anyone was fired or disciplined for this grievous error or any supervisors relieved of their position.

BS. They intentionally stopped those flights. For what purpose, I do not know, although I have my suspicions.

Sigh Why is it I do not believe anything, electronic or hardcopy, is ever deleted "unintentionally" by any government agency? (Yes, I actually do know why.)

I don't think they intentionally stopped the flights; rather, it is an outdated system, which Mayor Pete acknowledged way before the holidays, but did nothing to rectify, as he was too busy flying hubby around on taxpayer funded planes. So, the "unnamed" staff member is being blamed to cover Pete's extremely unqualified and incompetent backside.

There’s a theory floating around that the system was hacked and that the government paid off the hackers in Bitcoin. The same thing happened in Canada a few days later and in the Philippines. Additionally, Bitcoin went just like it would if the government had made a large Bitcoin purchase.

There are usually redundant backup systems that are used to capture "commits" from the active database during operations. These are sometimes delayed by an hour or so to prevent any catastrophic logic errors detected in the primary system from propagating to the backups and crashing them. Most of this is automated but if there is a problem with the network or security credentials between the clustered systems its possible that the backup system did not receive updates and was out-of-sync. If the administrators switched from the active to the backup at some scheduled time and rebuilt the active files by first recovering the disk space, the most recent commits would not have been propagated to the backup. In a safety critical system like the NOTAMS this would cause a loss of integrity in the information and force a rebuild from log files or other pre-database sources. Most organizations that deal with these types of critical failures have well established checkpoint procedures that make this type of catastrophic failure very unlikely. When they happen it takes time to rebuild a system from scratch and, in the case of filed flightplans being dependent on a single point of failure, prevents the release of aircraft for flights thus grounding of the entire fleet. A more distributed, redundant system would have avoid this single point of failure (as is done in the commercial world) but the government is all about central control.

I'm with 8 on this. These systems are not bullet proof although for the money spent on them they should be but the government isn't hiring the best people. They won't work for the government for any price. Given 2 options: someone screwed up the backups vs a conspiracy to prevent flights for a few hours.... I've seen plenty of backups screwed up over the years. Or backups not even running and the person or team responsible ignoring it. It happens in the real world everyday. Bad backups or no backups is why all these companies and small cities hurt so bad when there's a ransoms] ware attack. They should be able to just restore from last backup and go on but can't. Vs "the government needed to shut down all flights because uh... stuff! Yeah!" I'm going with human error. And why did no one get fired? It's the government.

I really don’t this is what happened. The same thing happened in Canada and the Philippines that are totally separate and disconnected systems. Crypto currencies rose dramatically immediately afterwards. All signs of a hack that were paid off with crypto currency to get the systems back online. The FAA appears to be lying to the Ametican people

A "good" theory is one that encompasses the fruits of "pattern recognition". I believe we saw a pattern of near-simultaneous outages in America, Canada and the Philippines. With the price of Bitcoins spiking soon after. Have at it, "conspiracy theorists" - why believe whatever your government tells you when critical thinking invites a play day?

19, because I've paid people a lot more than their government contractor who have a lot more experience than their government contractor who still occasionally broke stuff. Occam's Razor applies here. Bitcoin went up because the whales are doing their yearly wash. Ethereum has a new NFT scam going with bored ape video games. We don't need complex and open ended conspiracy theories that make no sense to figure out someone made a mistake at a keyboard. The only surprise is things run as well as they do, considering who is running them. Breaks and outages should be way more common than they are.

After a 37 year career working in IT I can tell you without doubt that blaming IT is a reliable thing because people don’t know any better and easily believe it. If files can be deleted by humans that will take the whole system down they either have some serious security issues or they are lying.

Biden Admin Shatters All-Time Record For

Posted by Imright 1/21/2023 8:57:23 PM Post Reply
President Joe Biden’s administration broke the all-time record for the number of illegal aliens encountered on the U.S.-Mexico border last month, according to newly released numbers. The administration released the numbers late Friday evening likely in hopes that the news of more than a quarter of a million encounters would get little coverage in the news media. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) had 251,487 encounters with illegal aliens last month, the highest number ever recorded in U.S. history. Last month’s numbers, combined with the first two months of fiscal year 2023 — October and November — put the U.S. on track to have more than 2.87 million illegal alien encounters

The majority of Americans blame President Joe Biden for ongoing record-breaking illegal immigration levels at the United States-Mexico border, a new poll reveals. A Yahoo/YouGov poll released on Friday shows that 54 percent of American adults blame Biden either “a great deal” or “some” for record-breaking illegal immigration levels. Only about 33 percent of Americans said Biden is not to blame. Most significantly, swing voters by a 58 percent majority said Biden is responsible for illegal immigration over the last two years while fewer than 3-in-10 say otherwise. A majority of white Americans, 61 percent, and a plurality of Hispanic Americans, 46 percent, said Biden is to blame.
