I think it's an outlandish claim that a technical glitch happened today that caused such a degree of widespread outage that the FAA had to take a step it hadn't taken since September 11, 2001.
A vague statement from the FAA isn't evidence either, just like a statement from the CDC not to buy masks isn't evidence they don't work to protect against a virus.
And I'm not claiming I have any evidence other than publicly observable patterns relating to both technical glitches and government transparency.
I'm speculating, based on the fact that technical glitches usually occur more than once every 21 years (or even less frequently, since 9/11 grounding was not due to a technical glitch), and that government agencies often lie to the public, that the FAA is not telling the whole truth.
And that is my right to do when commenting pseudonymously on an internet forum. You are similarly free to disagree with me or defer to your blind fealty to a government agency.
"based on the fact that technical glitches usually occur more than once every 21 years (or even less frequently, since 9/11 grounding was not due to a technical glitch), and that government agencies often lie to the public, that the FAA is not telling the whole truth"
Prove these are facts.
The reason I don't respect your opinion is because you don't know the difference between an opinion and facts and i don't like people like you lying on Hacker News.
