So power went out at Atlanta airport around 1pm ET. Basically everything since then has been canceled but

Posted by ty97 Dec 17 '17, 19:14

a bunch of flights landed around the time of the power outage, but could not get to gates. Some people were stuck on planes upwards of 8 hours. Unclear if every plane has been deplaned yet.

Have they explained yet what went wrong? Hard to believe the whole system would be out that long. -- nm - Meg Dec 17, 19:21

American airports are the worst. -- nm - mafic Dec 17, 19:18 3
- I dunno. Even with power, King Fahd International Airport (Dammam, Saudi Arabia) is pretty miserable -- nm* - JD Dec 17, 19:39 2
  - it's my sweeping generalisation that most American airports I've been to are not particularly nice. I had a layover in Dallas once and it was good - mafic Dec 17, 20:13
  - In 1967 the terminal at Roberts Field, Monrovia, Liberia was in a Quonset hut. We've come a long way :) -- nm - Meg Dec 17, 20:12
