If you didn’t hear, there is a global IT outage affecting airports, banks, hospitals, and even ESPN because of an update from a cybersecurity company called Crowdstrike. Philly International, a good enough airport, has thousands of people with cancelled flights crammed into the entrance. NBC10 managed to find the only guy not freaking out about his cancelled flight:

The more I watch this the more I don’t trust this guy. He’s honored to be a part of a moment like this. Some people would say that’s great perspective. Me? If I was near this guy and I overheard this interview I would choose to wait in another terminal. He’s way too chill about the fact that every single airport around the world has grinded to a halt. A dad that isn’t freaking out at the smallest wrench being thrown into his airport plans, let alone a global outage, is a ticking time bomb. He’s thanking the delay for letting him experience it? Seriously hide this guy in a CIA black site where the walls are six feet thick because there is no chance he’s not a powder keg ready to combust. What’s his play here? Did he up the Prozac dosage by mistake this morning? He and wife get it on for the first time in forever? He’s coming from Atlantic City, did he just hit it big? Win his first CFB title in College Football 2025? Whatever it is, airport security better have eyeballs on this guy the entire time. Someone just signed themselves up for a “random” cavity search.

Now, if he’s heading to Denver this is outage is the least of his problems. This guy is about to go through the ringer on his return. The Denver airport SUCKS. It’s like navigating a maze while running a marathon. There’s always an escalator under construction. ALWAYS. Sure all TSA blows, but there is something about Denver where they herd you like cattle into one specific area where the line stretches for miles which gives you unnecessary anxiety that you’re going to miss your flight. It’s also in the middle of fucking nowhere. The only cool thing about Denver is all of the conspiracy theories that surround it. And you know what I believe all of them because it looks like an airport that was built on Area 51.

Anyway if you’re flying today just know that you’re fucked. You got a bachelor party? You better make plans to spend it in Philly. Vacation? You’re vacation just became the Jersey Shore. You’re SOL:

Have they tried unplugging it, blowing in it, and then plugging it back in?
