A global technology outage on Friday morning grounded flights, knocked banks offline and media outlets off-air in a massive disruption that affected companies and services around the world.
Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike said that the issue believed to be behind the outage was not a security incident or cyberattack — and that a fix was on the way. It added that the problem happened when it deployed a faulty update to computers running Microsoft Windows. Philadelphia wasn't impervious to the widespread technology outage. Philadelphia International Airport experienced several delays and cancelations and the Philadelphia Court system was forced to close for the day.
"Redfern said the outage will cause a "snowball effect" as crews scramble to clear the logjam of flights, which she says could take days to resolve. The airport is urging travelers to keep tabs on flights through their airlines and still encouraging people to come to the airport despite the disruptions. United, in a statement posted on X, said it will begin to resume "some" flights, but residual disruptions are expected throughout the day Friday.
