Location: Opelousas, LA | First the United Airlines computer system has grounded flights everywhere, now the stock exchange has a computer "glitch" that has shut the whole thing down. Whats up? Coincidence or hackers, whatever it is, it's not good. |

Lol. He probably "heard about it from the same news reports you all did" or is that his excuse from all the previous incidents?!

Yes United so far. I have a senior United Piot in the family. Its to do with the traffic control system. AIrlines file flight plans and are sent electronically to ATC. GLitch was there. Essentially if they took off the aircraft computer is fine but the Traffic control system cant link up to the United Planes. |

I read a fiction novel based on what would happen if they hack our power grid. Our whole economy runs on technology, it painted a very scary picture of what would happen. |

Somehow, I don't believe NYSE or the governments reassurance that it was just a glitch... |

They have been following the euro financial crisis, so it could have been in reference to that as well |
