Trouble at Atlanta International Airport
My flight to New York involved a connection at Atlanta, which just happened to coincide with both bad weather and the FAA computer problems. The computer problems forced the FAA to switch to manual control of the flights and led to huge backups. Here's a panoramic photograph (click on it for a bigger version) of the long line of planes waiting to take off. Unfortunately, my flight never got off the ground and instead I got on a different flight that left 6 hours later than mine was originally scheduled for.
