The FAA is only now beginning to recover from a complete systems failure that left virtually all domestic flights in the United States grounded. While it remains unclear what caused the failure, theories range from a cyber attack to antiquated tech.
As with any catastrophe, the internet decided to have some fun and make memes at the FAA's expense. So sit back as far as you can in your cramped coach seat, and laugh at the FAA while they ground your flight.
