CrowdStrike outage: How your plane, train and automobile travel may be affected

A faulty CrowdStrike update for Windows caused widespread operational outages that grounded flights across multiple major airlines, disrupted some shipping port operations, and affected various businesses and public transit apps; the FAA managed intermittent ground stops and delays while airlines issued waivers and accommodations. U.S. DOT stated no impact to core federal aviation systems, and CrowdStrike confirmed the issue was not a cyberattack, deploying a fix while noting Mac and Linux were unaffected.
