SUMMARY: A global technology outage caused significant disruptions across the United States, France, and Germany, impacting flights and emergency services. The issue arose from a malfunction in CrowdStrike, an antivirus software co-founded by Microsoft. Many passengers faced frustration due to grounded flights, particularly with Delta, leading some to consider alternative travel options. While Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport remained operational, major airlines reported delays and cancellations. Local businesses and services, including the George County Sheriff’s Office, experienced communication issues, although some banks operated normally. The CEO of CrowdStrike confirmed a fix has been deployed, but issues persist. The situation remains under monitoring.

Brandy McGill joins us from the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport where the large technology outage had some impact on flights.
