Five days later, the Great CrowdStrike Crash of 2024 is still giving IT managers headaches. CNN ran a story yesterday headlined, “Why Delta is still canceling flights as other airlines return to normal.” Many airlines are “largely” back to normal, “largely” meaning “not” back to normal, a clever bit journalistic sleight-of-hand intended to boost the flagging prospects of the deep-state’s anti-virus company. Delta canceled 1,000 flights on Monday and, according to CNN, has no idea where its crew members are. Maybe hiding out in Rehobeth Beach?

The good news was, with planes grounded, their wheels were not falling off in midair and no engines caught fire, although disappointed tarmac crews were unable to toast their S’Mores this weekend.

Predictably, stock shares in the “AI-enabled” security service company took a hit, even though Bloomberg managed to find a “mostly peaceful” bright side, running a story headlined, “CrowdStrike Outage Nets Short Sellers $461 Million Windfall.” So, fortunately somebody made money, although one has a sinking feeling that when we discover who that somebody was, we’ll find their name rhymes with Crack Block.

CNBC ran a more straightforward headline:

Evidence that CrowdStrike is a deep state front company includes that corporate media is mostly making excuses for the most expensive, biggest, and most destructive computer bug in history. “These things happen,” reporters and experts soberly informed us. And so forth.
