Travel disruption is continuing today as trains are hit in Crowdstrike outage with ticket machines and scanners going down at London stations.
The meltdown chaos comes after the world's biggest IT disaster struck, with thousands of Brits stranded abroad.
It happened on one of year's busiest travel days, with families now desperately queuing at Dover Port in an attempt to get home.
After another 45 flights were cancelled today, 28,000 Brits are fighting to get a seat on a plane.
Some passengers stuck overseas have been told they won't be able to get home until Wednesday at the latest after 50,000 flights

I’m beginning to think our overlords are giving us a preview of how bad they can make our lives when they feel like it. Crowdstrike has very highly placed and very left contacts.

Me, too, #1. With the left, there are no accidents.

I believe its no coincidence that on the day Republicans Nationwide were trying to get home from the RNC, a computer glitch shuts down the airlines!
Chaos appears to be happening in Europe right now as well.
We need paper ballots. That's all.

No Such Agency. Just sayin'.
There is no way Crowdstrike and MSFT can be so deeply entrenched in the Demzi system without them being infiltrated, leveraged, and compromised. There are probably conspiracies we cannot even imagine.
So, while the systems are being "fixed", what else is going on? Convenient that everything involved is offline and there will be no traceable records being kept. Someone important needed cleanup services, my guess.

I'm betting a DEI hire effed up a .dll file and when it loaded, the first time a OS service went to use that .dll (Dynamic Linking Library, a term for standardized software subroutines used by many different programs in the computer) it didn't function right so that "service" stopped working and that's that.
Can't fix it without replacing the bad file, on each machine. It's like my ISP tells me that they "sent me an email to tell me that their service was down". Say what? How in hell am I supposed to get an email if the internet service provider is down?
Same thing. Can't use a remote fix if the computer won't boot. Gotta fix it locally, one at a time.

#6, Thank you for teaching me what a 'Dynamic Linking Library' or .dll file is.
I think I understand. If I could learn one such tidbit a day...
Oh wait--did you say 'Titanic Leaking Livery?'
Sometimes I get things mixed up. I'm not DEI. I'm ADD.
Thanks all the same.

Crowdstrike - the woke leftist company that was brought in to "verify" that the emails "stolen" from Hillary's illegal, criminal laptops were probably filched by Russian hackers. I hope and pray that this latest boondoggle takes Crowdstrike down forever.

Re #7, if you own a Windows computer, and you have the Windows Explorer configured to show "file extensions" you can search on "*.dll" at the main disk.
I just did it an found thousands, it looks like.
Examples:
System.Web.dll
System.Data.dll
PresentationCore.dll
wpfgfx_v0300.dll
QtSSql.dll
Thousands it looks like. And one of the important ones gets replaced with a screwed up version.....poof,whatever else in the system uses the library just fails. Blue screen...

I wonder if the terrorists (the non domestic kind) are taking notes on how easy it is to bring our economy to a stand still?
