   I don't quite understand this sort of thing happening. Wasn't the whole point of the internet to be a self-healing network where we route around severed cables, etc?

   Or is it that these ATC networks are their own air-gapped network with less redundancy? That just doesn't add up. Or maybe there was only one line going to the ATC, with no multiple "ISPs" like a datacenter would have?

      Do you want air traffic control to be on the general internet?

      That seems like an extremely foolhardy thing to do.

         As a tertiary backup: Yeah, maybe I do want that.

         It seems like it would present a less-chaotic solution than that provided by having no data communications at all.
