Cringley speculates like hell:

Delta Airlines last night suffered a major power outage at its data center in Atlanta that led to a systemwide shutdown of its computer network, stranding airliners and canceling flights all over the world. You already know that. What you may not know, however, is the likely role in the crisis of IT outsourcing and offshoring.

Do any Soylentils have inside/better information?

    You never saw Airport 77, did you? Old lady made her own boarding passes with a felt-tip pen. Without central server to verify lady was authorized to fly, she got lots of free flights.

    TSA rules require central passenger verification anyway.
