U.S. Flights Grounded Updates | Biden Says ,'We Don't Know' What Caused
Biden didn't say that.
I just watched that report. Biden said the DOT secretary and FAA
don't yet know (as of 2 days ago) what the cause of the problem was.
It was sorted quickly and schedules resumed after just a few hours.
But they do know now. "Corrupted file to blame for FAA aviation
stoppage that delayed thousands of flights
The system was restored after it halted all departures across the
country. "

Iow, spending cuts forcing the FAA (among other agencies) to depend on
outmoded hardware and software caused the problem.
Btw, if they had not grounded that traffic and a plane had crashed,
this wouldn't be a matter of whiny Republicans trying to find fault
with what turned out to be a computer glitch, it would be a national
scandal and heads would be rolling.
