That sounds like a pretty bad day...

As is our world as we know it would end in an instant, no more cell phones no more online banking, no social media etc. (not without massive amounts of effort to bring things back up, and I highly doubt this would be an overnight task)

Just think if all airliners were manned by robots and an event such as that were to happen!
