ATL airport closed down on tuesday cause of problems?

[VTECking]

Did anyone hear about this, supposedly they were having computer problems with the landing order of the planes. Is this ture?

[Stormhammer]

yes, the FAA center south of Atlanta was having some computer glitches so all flight plans and what not were sent out to the FAA center in Utah to be managed from just that point.

Technically the airport didn't close down. Flights were just delayed, that's all. Your information sources suck.
