I clicked it and was greeted with this. LOL!
"It seems the shiny new AI tech tool Strategic Management of Airspace Routing Trajectories (SMART) may have become Failed Airspace Routing Trajectories (FART)"
I can easily imagine a batch job on a mainframe that sends every hour some important data by mail and that some logic apps checks that mailbox to propagate the data but now that mails have been delayed +12hours it's going haywire
And in 2023, which was more similar to this. This is a departure stop, planes in the air are still heading towards their destinations. This is not the same as 9/11 where flights were redirected to their nearest airports for immediate landings.

it may be something similar - remove all random, but controllable sources of radar return for military to start scanning
Looks like the woodpecker has arrived.
But this is hilarious, and hence I am upvoting.
More likely: the reengineered system has a serious bug.
The reason is clear: all this points to the ANT ipo next week, people want to pop the AI bubble.
