IT Outage Leaves The Entire World In A State Of Disbelief

by

A huge IT Outage has struck the world today and it has left people’s lives completely on hold. CrowdStrike, a Cybersecurity firm, updated its systems overnight and it ultimately led a massive outage. This has subsequently left airlines, banks, and various other major industries without their computer systems. Flights have been delayed indefinitely, and those who needs Microsoft services have ultimately been left to fend for themselves.

In a report from NBC News, it was made clear that this was not the result of some sort of cybersecurity attack. Instead, it was an accident from CrowdStrike that is in the midst of being resolved. The fix has already been deployed, and now, it is simply a waiting game. The hope is that everything will be back online as quickly as humanly possible.

A Horrible IT Outage Ravages The World

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – JULY 19: Passengers sit in massage chairs as long queues form at the check-in counters behind them at Ninoy Aquino International Airport, amid a global IT disruption caused by a Microsoft outage and a Crowdstrike IT problem, on July 19, 2024 in Manila, Philippines. A significant Microsoft outage impacted users globally, leading to widespread disruptions, including cancelled flights and disruptions at retailers globally. Airlines like American Airlines and Southwest Airlines reported difficulties with their systems, which rely on Microsoft services for operations. The outage affected check-in processes and other essential functions, causing frustration among travellers and lines to back up at many affected airports worldwide.

The IT Outage has been described as what Y2K was supposed to be. Although, we don’t think nuclear annihilation is going to come from this, like Y2K suggested. Instead, this will prove to be an inconvenience that everyone forgets in a few days from now. Hopefully, it is resolved much sooner than later.

Talib Kweli Claims American Air Threatened To Have Him Arrested

by

There was a tense moment on a recent flight after Talib Kweli got into a disagreement with the staff. The Black Star icon shared the ordeal on social media, posting several videos of the escalation. Things seemed to have ignited after Kweli was told that his carry-on item didn’t fit underneath his seat. In one video, viewers can hear the rapper explaining why the bag fits securely.

The situation developed into an uncomfortable exchange after Kweli says American Air threatened to have him arrested. “After clearing my bag with the gate agent, flight attendant Sky Seaglass tells me my bag is too big and I must check it,” Kweli wrote on Instagram.

“I asked why, so he got annoyed and called his supervisor. The supervisor tells me it’s her decision whether I fly or not. That’s an important detail.”

“The supervisor sees that the attendant Seaglass was wrong about my bag and walks me to my seat and says l’m good to fly,” Kweli further shared. “Moments later the supervisor comes back and tells me that if I do not obey the flight attendant while in the air, I will go to jail. The whole time, Seaglass, who I’m not talking to at all, is telling people he feels ‘unsafe.’”

Then, the rapper says the supervisor returned to tell him he “must leave the plane.” He said he felt “that’s a violation of my human rights” before she told him to stop recording.

“Even though earlier she said I could record,” he said.

All passengers were then instructed to leave the plane as Kweli sat by.

“They then send 3 police officers in. Police expressed surprise that @americanair crew threatened me with arrest and said only the police can make that call. Cops then say ‘we got called out for nothing’ and ‘you didn’t do anything wrong.’ It’s right there on video.”

American Air has yet to address the controversy.
