Sky jam over Britain as supercomputer crashes causing chaos at airports   
This should deter some people from further harmful and wasteful
hypermobile wander-lust. Is it worth all the airport hassles and
dreadful expansion plans?

"Tens of thousands of passengers had their plans thrown into chaos
last night after a computer glitch brought airports to a standstill.

A fault at the national air traffic control centre meant departing
flights had to be grounded and incoming flights were not allowed to
land.

Hundreds of flights were affected at many of Britain's airports,
including all five London hubs and most regional terminals. Several
European airports were also affected by knock-on delays..."

 My, my, you're so predictable. Not only was it ineitable that you'd pick up 
on this, and add a completely unjustified, unsubstantiated comment (more in 
hope than reality), it was also inevitable that you wouldn't bother to check 
if a related thread was already under way. Why do you do it? Too 
self-important, I guess.

Late and not even accurate. Aircraft were taking off and landing, but more 
slowly than usual - the interval between take-offs at Heathrow being five 
minutes instead of three.
