The FAA is monitoring its systems at 'high level' after its NOTAM failure grounded all planes, a senior official told ABC News.
staffing remains high and systems monitoring is at an urgently high level this morning, a senior official told ABC News Thursday., pilots and airports start the day with normal flight operations while also trying to make up for delays and cancellations yesterday. At the same time, public and media computer traffic on the NOTAM system is running high because of global interest in the antiquated system that crashed on Wednesday.
An engineer "replaced one file with another," the official said, not realizing the mistake was being made. As the systems began showing problems and ultimately failed, FAA staff feverishly tried to figure out what had gone wrong. The engineer who made the error did not realize what had happened.
