Flights grounded and travelers stranded — including at JFK and LaGuardia — after tech outage cripples banks and other companies around the globe A failed tech update grounded flights, knocked banks offline and media outlets off the air across the world early Friday — with travelers at JFK and LaGuardia airports among those left stranded by the unprecedented and wide-scale internet disruption.
The global crisis was triggered when US cybersecurity company CrowdStrike deployed a faulty software update to computers running Microsoft Windows overnight, crashing them and leaving the ominous so-called “blue screen of death.”
“I don’t think it’s too early to call it: this will be the largest IT outage in history,” tech expert Troy Hunt, an Australian Microsoft regional manager, tweeted early in the chaos.

“The new plans include investing about $3 billion to expand Super Duty production, including $2.3 billion at Ford’s Oakville Assembly Complex in Ontario, Canada, Ford said Thursday,” reports CNBC’s Michael Wayland. “The remaining investment will be used to increase production at supporting facilities in the U.S. and Canada, the company said.” Image

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ― George Orwell, 1984 Image
