A SEVERED CABLE CAUSED US AIRWAYS to lose its computer network and forced the grounding of 100 flights yesterday.
The fibre-optic cable was accidentally cut near one of its Phoenix data centres and affected its flight dispatch and airport computer systems.
Apparently things are back to normal now.µ
