Stuck on #PDX runway for over an hour, nationwide computer outage for @unitedairlines. Don't you have a back up system? Ugh.

Reports are coming in on Twitter about a nationwide United Airlines computer outage. Planes have been grounded across the country.
Is #United "Unimatic computer shutdown worldwide" affecting United flights worldwide or only my flight to Orlando?

Nope, not just you.
5:45 am United flight to LAX still grounded due to "computer systems being down" #bluescreen #gettingoff

I guess there's been a system-wide crash of the United Air computer system that does weight and balance? It is delaying my flight ATM.

Apparently, the outage hasn’t affected the airline’s access to Twitter. United just tweeted:
We're aware of a computer issue affecting some of our flights. We're working to resolve it. We'll update as we have more details.
