Default British Airways: turmoil continues after IT failure grounds flights

Quote:
Disruption from a major British Airways IT failure that affected more than 1,000 flights on Saturday has continued into a second day, leaving more passengers stranded.

After all the airline’s flights from Heathrow and Gatwick were grounded on Saturday, services resumed but with cancellations and delays.

BA claims the the problem was due to a power failure.

Hard to believe that in these times of redundant IT systems (Servers, Drives, Routers ...), redundant comms links and redundant power systems and even backup computer rooms that BA can be brought to its knees by a simple power failure that is still impacting flights.
