United Airlines has suffered an hours-long problem with its computer systems that resulted in delays and cancellations globally.
Passengers travelling late Thursday and early Friday took to social media to complain about delays as long as six hours.
United posted a statement on its Twitter account saying “we’re aware of an issue with our system & are working to resolve it.” By 3 a.m. EDT (0700 GMT), United officials claimed to have fixed it and said delayed flights were resuming.
Flight tracking service FlightStats showed 20 United flights were delayed and seven canceled worldwide by European morning hours.

My sister and I can personally attest to this!! Our airplane had to land illegally in Nicaragua, and we were in a dire situation*EREV Shabbos* due to failure of the computer systems, (+in our case we were also hit with a hard storm). In short, our flight had to do a diversion and land in Nicaragua instead of Costa Rica. B”H Hashem made many nissim and we miraculously survived this ordeal/ adventure:D
