Data center power outage affecting US Airways Jet arrives 2 years after Hudson River splashdown Some flghts delayed by Power near data in Phoenix grounds numerous flights nationwide Miracle on the plane goes display Flight 1549 completes journey computer problems ground Computer glitch snarls Airways' network grounding all

A power outage near one of US Airways' data centers in Phoenix has grounded or delayed numerous flights nationwide, but officials at the Tempe-based carrier couldn't immediately say how many flights or passengers were affected. Charlotte, N.C. — It finally arrived. Two years after a US Airways jet left New York for Charlotte and made a miraculous landing on the Hudson River, it reached its intended destination and future home in a museum. US Airways flights at Pittsburgh International Airport and nationwide were delayed on Friday because of a computer systems failure. June 10 - The U.S. Airways airplane that made a splash landing dubbed the "Miracle on the Hudson" more than two years ago arrives in Charlotte, North Carolina -- its original, and final, destination. Natalie Armstrong reports. (By David Perlmutt, Mark Washburn, and Steve Lyttle, Staff Writers) Greeted and cheered by crowds and escorted by the N.C. Highway Patrol and news helicopters, the fuselage of US Airways Flight 1549 finally reached Charlotte on Friday morning. Nearly 27 months after taking off from New York City for Charlotte, the main body of the Airbus A-320 was pulled into Charlotte/Douglas International Airport about 11:45 a.m., completing a journey from New Jersey. A power outage at a US Airways data center in Phoenix today grounded or delayed flights nationwide, according to a spokeswoman for the airlines. Man, the words "airline" and "crash" never mean anything good when they're near each other. Today, the US Airways website crashed and all flights were temporarily grounded after a power outage at one airline's data centers grounded airport and web-based computer systems. US Airways is based in Tempe, Arizona, and the data center was located in Phoenix. More: NYCaviation.com, MSNBC. The problems appear to have started around 430pm ET today based on a cursory Twitter search for the hashtag #USairways. The usairways.com website was also temporarily down. The airline's Twitter account is now frantically retweeting the phrase, "Some airport computer systems are coming back online now and we are working to restore operational order. More on @usairways." At least it wasn't @LulzSec. (Image: usairways.com)...
