Paid To Fail

CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) — A computer malfunction at United Airlines halted all departures systemwide for two hours Wednesday, the carrier said.

Spokeswoman Robin Urbanski said the airline did not yet know what caused the problem, which she described as a computer outage.

The outage lasted from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. CDT, when departures were able to resume, she said.

“We were experiencing a computer outage and now our computers are back up,” she said. “Right now we’re working hard to resume our operations.”
