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...

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.
