    FAA System in US got shot down. Shortly after, a similar thing happened in Canada.

    Is this a cyber attack?

    Government says no. But the fact that both countries with seperate systems were shut down is suspect.

    Ransom cyber attackers get paid in bitcoin. Shortly after the shutdown, the price of bitcoin went up by 20%. As if someone bought a bunch all at once to pay someone.

    IDK. It's all suspect

    more likely, they outsourced all the IT to India and lost all the people that knew how to maintain some of these ancient systems

    Mr. Tucker Carlson appears to be susceptible to conspiracy theories. That's humorous.

    Unfortunately, his show is broadcast when I'm doing something else. I have to find humor elsewhere.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well.

    And the exact same issue happened in Canada shortly after?

    What a great coincidence.

    The last time FAA shut down air travel like this was 911

    suspiciousobservers - a guy who gives daily updates on solar activity on youtube, was saying it was related to solar activity.

    Of course, that guy thinks everything is related to solar activity.

    Would the government ever admit foreign intervention?

    That is the problem is that people have become so much like sheep they will never question their government responses.

    This could or could not have been hackers. People should at least leave the option open and question things that don't make sense.

    And Mr. Torus34 operates in the state of mind that demands that humans do not conspire, especially humans holding power in government. He does that in spite of the recent knowledge gained by the Twitter files which clearly show that countless humans holding power conspired to defeat the letter and spirit of the First Amendment.

    Yes, it is easier to fool a man than it is to explain to him how he has been fooled. :lol:

    I'm willing to look into it, but I'm not going to take Tucker "white genocide" Carlson's word for it. He refuses to do any kind of homework before vomiting up the conspiracy flavor of the day.

    If that question is serious, not a joke, once again you reveal your absolute ignorance of current events. Early on the Twitter files showed that HELL YEAH Biden admin and the entire DNC were manipulating Twitter. Gawd, Stale Air, don't you read anything?

    Hi, flyboy56.

    The position of FAA Administrator has not been vacant. Mr. Billy Nolan has been acting Administrator since April 2022.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well.

    And if Mr. Nolan was fully qualified to fill the position permanently he would not still be the acting administrator. Is the FAA not important enough agency to have someone permanent in that position by now?

    An interesting question.

    What is of importance is, I should think, not who occupies the functional position nor what title that person is given, [I once worked for a boss who said, paraphrased, "I've got a whole drawer full of titles to give out. They're cheaper than raises."] but whether the function of the position is being competently carried out. This poor old country mouse is not, unfortunately, qualified to judge the person now heading the FAA.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well.

    Hopefully an investigation into why NATOMS failed will determine the need for someone who might be more qualified than Mr. Nolan. The fact is the FAA needs someone in that position who knows they will be there for sometime giving them a certain amount of ownership. I've been in both situations and as a temporary employee I didn't commit myself to the job.

    Yes, and he appointed Susan Northrup as the new Federal Air Surgeon last year. Tucker said last night after LTC Teresa Long was on that they were going to attempt to get Northrup on the show to explain why FAA changed the standard for EKG tests.

    As Kersch has noted, quietly changing the standard is a tacit admission that the shots have adverse cardiovascular effects.
