Software Upgrade Crashes UK Air Traffic Control System
pitpe writes "Earlier today the computer system controlling most of the UK's airspace failed, after tests in preparation for an upgrade failed. The original failure occurred at the West Drayton centre, which is an old (70's) system, as opposed to the new system at Swanage, which has had its own problems. A system wide reboot to fix the system resulted in the entire system being taken down temporarily."

Mod me down if you like, but, I've always wondered about the use of mobiles on aircraft...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but, were the passengers on the 9/11 aircraft not using their cellphones to call loved ones just before the tragedy happened?
Surely, if it's as bad as they're making out, using their mobiles would have caused something to go wrong with the flight controls/computer systems onboard...
