As of thirty-ish minutes ago ALL commercial air traffic in the US is grounded until further notice.

Anyone got any idea what’s going on? There are very free details about the situation I can find online right now.

    I would expect there to be primary and backup services of communication. Such a massive/critical update would most likely be tested on a smaller region with the capability to fall back to the backup servers.

    But also hearing how outdated and antiquated a lot of the facilities are (I know they’re rushing to upgrade everything from floppy disks), I could bet that the backup transmission services might not even be operational for some facilities.
