The Aviation Herald: The glitch of a flight plan computer at the FAA center near Atlanta lost flight plans and caused delays to several hundred flights across the USA, until all processing load was shifted to a backup system near Salt Lake City. Normally the two processing units share the workload.

Airlines were told, that they needed to refile at least some of their flight plans.

The situation returned to normal during the evening. The glitch was identified to be a software bug.
