"Frequency outage", I think that translates to radio communications not working, until "22 Zulu" aka 22:00 UTC, 5 PM ET.

Microsoft outage related??
What are all the possible reasons to do this?<p>Has this ever happened?
A credible threat from Iran? More likely a technical issue.<p>Happened in 2023 <a href="https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/faa-notam-statement" rel="nofollow">https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/faa-notam-statement</a>
Jan 2023 was the most recent nationwide one.<p><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/11/faa-orders-airlines-to-pause-departures-until-9-am-et-after-system-outage.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/11/faa-orders-airlines-to-pause...</a><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_FAA_system_outage" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_FAA_system_outage</a>
previous time it happened right before chinese baloon made the news<p>it may be something similar - remove all random, but controllable sources of radar return for military to start scanning
It happened on 9/11, didn’t it?
yes, 9/11
And in 2023, which was more similar to this. This is a <i>departure</i> stop, planes in the air are still heading towards their destinations. This is not the same as 9/11 where flights were redirected to their nearest airports for immediate landings.

Why? I came into this thread just to make sure someone posted that link. I hate when the discussion gets fragmented across several different posts.
+1 ban it and with it the 30k+ Karma it has
Dang does that too. I guess we are going to have to ban him as well.
I guess some of their floppy drives must have given out.
This has been a horrible week for AI: Jensen resigned, Microsoft Outage, now FAA outage from new AI system.<p>The reason is clear: all this points to the ANT ipo next week, people want to pop the AI bubble.
1. There’s no proof yet that this is AI related<p>2. The idea that someone would ground all air traffic in order to disrupt Anthropic’s IPO is an absolutely wild conspiracy theory with no basis in reality
What a cope. Per occam's razor, the most likely cause is putting hallucinations on the critical path. But sure, peddle a conspiracy theory.
