ATL power failure
 

Anyone have the inside scoop? Reports I saw said a construction crew cut through the power cable. To which my first response was, "wait, the busiest airport in the world only has ONE power cable?" Seems our ability to implement a plan B is pretty weak lately. Acknowledging of course that it's on the airport not DL, but I still feel like we have a vested interest to know if there's such a vulnerability to our fortress hub as a single power source line. Gotta be more to this story...

Yes I could believe the Atlanta airport would have only one power cable. I could.

They were told weeks ago to replace the squirrel.

Somebody should check the small church just outside of the airport, something fishy is going on in there.

Probably just came unplugged at the MARTA station when they were putting up a Christmas/Kwanza tree.

But the Squirrel Union got the retirement age extended, and he kept passing his physical.....:D

The wife is stuck in ATL at the moment due to this. Unfortunately, many people are in the same shoes. She did say Delta is taking care of people as best as they could.

One cable. Yup.

But its a really big one. :)

Anyone else starting to see the value in a reliever airport NOT run by the clowns from the city of Atlanta?? (I mean good God..... Several backup generators were available-but apparently everything is routed through one box? Idiots!)

Not long ago, the trains all shut down for an afternoon because of a brake issue-and that was complete pandemonium..... And let's don't even think about what happens every single time one snowflake falls from the sky. Incompetence.

Mary Norwood now be like the happiest loser ever.
