"Welcome to Friday the 13th," says DHS Secretary Mullins, explaining there's no connection between the FAA communications system failure and the Microsoft outage.

Transportation Secretary Duffy announces that the FAA has lifted the nationwide air stop.
"TDM analog system got overloaded with data," according to Transportation Secretary Duffy.
@newsguyusa
"TDM analog system got overloaded with data,".... From the SMART "ai" system they turned on yesterday...?!
@newsguyusa did anyone ask the most important questions:
- What made today’s amount of ATC data different than any other day’s?
- Why would the system be overloaded?
- Were there some excessive ‘extra’ number of flights?
@newsguyusa That's a meaningless answer. The data has to come from somewhere. Something they did when configuring the systems was not planned or deployed properly. They must have known the capacities of the newer and legacy equipment. They haven't said that there was a "failure" of equipment per se. This was very likely a planning and/or deployment failure.
I have to believe the deployment of 'smart' probably was not tested on legacy systems adequately. And the overload was very possibly due to traffic from the new system.
Push to Prod Friday the 13th. Bold choice. Doesn't seem like it worked out.
@lauren @newsguyusa Analog systems...famously easy to overload.
@newsguyusa Uhhhhh. Not sure if this is a thing.
"I didn't anticipate we'd have an outage like this," replies Secretary Duffy to a reporter asking why the FAA didn't have an emergency backup plan.
@newsguyusa Impeach Duffy Too
@newsguyusa Literally the dumbest fucking people running this administration.
@newsguyusa "I fired everyone who anticipated we'd have an outage like this"
@newsguyusa
Condoleezza Rice did it better.
@newsguyusa “Failure to plan is . . .”
@newsguyusa if only there might have ever been a way to predict or test for that.
@newsguyusa “This is what the leadership of President Trump looks like.” - Markwayne Mullin
@newsguyusa Dressed as Action Man?
"This is an emergency," says Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. "I want 50 billion dollars."
@newsguyusa Need $50 billon? Take some from the military or I.C.E.
"I can't speak enough about President Trump's leadership," says DHS Secretary Mullins before ending the White House news conference.
@newsguyusa he forgot the “lack of” did he not?
And then he spoke nothing of it since well yeah
@newsguyusa What a coincidence. As of October 16th, the Pentagon says the war with Iran had cost $47.1 B.
@newsguyusa you mean the dude who is tweeting about giving tax breaks to his big studio boss friends to save the movie industry?
@newsguyusa Someone should've asked "Why not?"
Yeah, I think Duffy mentioned several times that this was an Emergency! because he's still not convinced it's an emergency, and doesn't know what one is.
Mullin keeps blaming Congress and the need to implement a complete system h/w and s/w upgrade. Who wants these fuckups to be responsible for that?
He says Trump is doing a good job post-emergency. But refuses to say why we had an emergency. That's playing politics.
Old legacy equipment failed "and it will continue to fail," warns Transportation Secretary Duffy.
@newsguyusa “old legacy equipment” sounds like a description of Trump.
@newsguyusa Sounds like a threat rather than a diagnosis, especially since most of what he said is nonsense technologically. Someone is doing their best to avoid saying what the actual problem was/is.
@newsguyusa Sean realizing he might be pulled before Congress in the new year....
Old equipment fails
@newsguyusa Go get the $50B from ICE.
@newsguyusa he’s a damn liar.
I think they have that much in gold bars hidden in the ballroom basement.
@newsguyusa In all fairness, so do I.
@newsguyusa
ha. wait. what? did he say that? i don't know what's real anymore.
@newsguyusa
You just know you're in deep shit when these two take the same stage.
