This is rich .. LAX airport shut down for hours because of a PC with a duff network card. Now I wonder which major contractor has the contract to set up and run the network at LAX, and how much in damages and SLA costs he is looking at, when an airport gets shut down from 2 pm to midnight.
slight clarification on the fact: I happened to be at LAX around 9PM that day to pick up someone: LAX did not shut down, domestic flights were not affected, but all international flights that arrived after 2PM got held up on runways (which led to thousands of cars, which presumably waiting for picking up friends/relatives, circulating LAX).
