FAA computer meltdown causes ripple effect at Ohare.
Wednesday's aviation computer meltdown snarled flights for countless business travelers, families and honeymooners at O'Hare International Airport.
Business traveler Belinda Moore of Kansas waited for three hours at the airport before her American Airlines flight lifted off for O'Hare. Customer service"didn't know anything to tell us," she said Wednesday morning in Terminal 3. "We were supposed to go to Jamaica on our honeymoon," Eric Johnson said."Our flight got canceled. The earliest flight they could rebook us on was Friday morning."It appeared their 9 a.m. flight was on time when the couple left for O'Hare, but"we got here, and it was at 10 a.m., and then 10:39 a.m., and then it was canceled," Eric Johnson said.
Jensen said she was not concerned about getting back on a plane, but, she added,"I wonder how much more is going happen throughout the day and if it's truly fixed."
