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?

    True, but his manager-of-users viewpoint was that the one they had was stable enough and had more productivity features, and the company chatter was that the one cheapest to double the load was selected despite being ancestral.
