'We've built the safest, most reliable network in the world,' American Airline CEO Robert Isom says after yesterday's FAA outage that delayed or canceled more than 10K flights.

The FAA said a preliminary review traced the outage to a "damaged database file." The issues started around 3:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Unable to fix the problem, the FAA rebooted the system, and ordered the ground stop, which it lifted around 9 a.m. on Wednesday. That caused a cascade of U.S. flight delays, which totaled 10,563, according to FlightAware. More than 1,300 flights were canceled.Delays worsened throughout the day, however, with late U.S. flights totaling nearly 4,000 by 4:50 p.m. ET, according to FlightAware. The FAA said in a tweeted video message Thursday morning that some flights could be disrupted by bad weather.
The outage and rare nationwide ground stop highlighted yet again how a failure of one of the numerous systems that underpin the U.S. aviation system can so dramatically derail air travel for hundreds of thousands of passengers.
