welcome everyone Adam the woo here as

0:06
July
0:07
19th 2024 cheers I just got off the
0:10
elevator really early I checked out the
0:12
hotel here in the Orlando International
0:15
Airport I stay in the
0:17
Hyatt there is a global outage there is
0:20
a worldwide
0:22
outage so none of the information I will
0:25
be showing throughout the airport is
0:27
going to be accurate this is in a
0:29
recovery mode it will not load so
0:32
anything that they are saying anything
0:33
that's on the Delta app Etc is not going
0:37
to be correct
0:38
because all flights not just with Delta
0:42
are grounded so I spent the last hour or
0:44
two up there and I might I'm just going
0:48
to try to I got a couple hours to decide
0:50
I'm just going to hang around the
0:50
airport and see what happens but I was
0:52
supposed to fly out at 8: a.m. which I
0:53
do not believe is going to happen was
0:56
going to have a layover in Atlanta and
0:59
then I was going to go to Pittsburgh but
1:01
I don't know if I'm going to Pittsburgh
1:03
I might go
1:05
home I might go home and see just
1:08
regroup in fact they have closed off the
1:12
Sky Lounge there is a line there's a
1:14
gentleman there stopping anyone from
1:15
going up there so they told me I cannot
1:17
go back up there so now I made it down
1:20
look at the Starbucks line look at the
1:22
Starbucks line over here I got my piping
1:25
hot caffeinated beverage it is a mess
1:28
even the Nathan's Hot Dogs at 7 a.m. is
1:30
a massive line no one's going anywhere
1:34
this is the freaking Starbucks line
1:37
Starbucks is over there this is
1:40
like an hour wait to get a cup of
1:43
coffee probably welcome everyone Adam
1:47
the woo
1:48
here it is truly going to
1:51
be a
1:59
day ah plane travel what can you do I'm
1:59
inviting you to join me see where the
2:01
day leads
2:02
me shall
2:05
you dang now I was told when I went to
2:08
the lounge earlier they said do not
2:10
trust or do not pay any attention to
2:12
what's on the board throughout the
2:14
airport or on the app because none of
2:16
this is correct even though it does say
2:19
a lot of cancellation fact I don't even
2:20
see the 8 a.m. to Atlanta up there I
2:24
don't even see it up there and even if
2:26
it was up there it wouldn't matter
2:27
anyway because computers
2:38
see
2:38
2730 service to New York airport 83 This
2:44
FL has been
2:46
cancelled proceed
2:49
Dela your that's to New
2:52
York FL 2730 service to New York L waria
2:57
this FL has been cancelled please
3:00
proceed to
3:01
bage my flight was supposed to be
3:03
boarding in about 5 or 10 minutes it was
3:05
going to be at 8:00
3:07
a.m. it's about 712
3:11
now so it does not look like I'm going
3:13
to be going to Pittsburgh today I'm kind
3:14
of leaning towards just bailing on the
3:16
whole idea going home for like a day or
3:19
so and then going to the place I was
3:21
going to go after Pittsburgh a little
3:23
disappointing I had some
3:25
plans in Pittsburgh for a day or two but
3:29
there a look good also this is the line
3:31
to get in the the Sky Lounge right there
3:34
there's a huge backup just to get in the
3:43
lounge let's P around the airport see
3:43
what's happened curious to see if
3:46
anything is taking
3:48
off and if the rumor well they're not
3:50
rumors I mean I did a quick little
3:52
internet search it's all over the web
3:54
it's all over
3:56
the information Super Highway and
3:59
nothing is departing at the
4:02
moment at least none of the ones I'm
4:04
looking
4:06
at flights are
4:16
grounded day two at this
4:16
mess it doesn't even look like I'm going
4:18
to go anywhere
4:25
enough let's see what the flight status
4:25
is looking like here on the board
4:33
H yeah not really getting a lot of info
4:33
here on the on this uh not that
4:45
board oh wait wait wait wait this is
4:45
supposed to be
4:46
where it says Atlanta 8: a.m. on time
4:50
wait
4:52
what I can't be right I can't be right
4:55
everyone no there's that's not right
4:56
worldwide assist Microsoft
5:00
hased delines
5:03
otheres in the US Europe Asia
5:08
Australia have upate at this time there
5:11
is no upate on
5:13
recovery at this
5:15
time flight and the flight suppos at
5:19
5:30 in the morning 6 a.m. 8 a.m.
5:22
nothing hasport
5:33
left I do
5:40
notm I not I am not able to open the
5:40
flight I not able to assign any seats
5:43
I'm not really I do not have the
5:45
capability to do that as at this time so
5:48
when I do get that folks we'll make an
5:50
announcement right away once the system
5:52
is back no system worldwide worldwide
5:56
thank you okay uh
6:00
these planes are not going
6:02
anywhere you're not going anywhere go
6:06
check out the snow capat go check it out
6:09
go check it
6:21
out over here gate 72 that was gate 73
6:21
so that would have been the flight I
6:23
would have gone but
6:25
again making the major statement that
6:28
nothing at least as far as Delta goes
6:31
and I believe every Airline nothing is
6:33
getting off the ground for a
6:41
while there's some like little luggage
6:41
activity going on out there I don't know
6:42
if they're taking the bags off putting
6:44
the bags on also quite a bit of
6:47
condensation because it's very humid
6:48
outside and cool in
6:51
here you don't want to open this door
6:53
though a l go
7:07
there's another Atlanta over
7:07
here little slumbering on the ground
7:09
probably here all
7:11
night same issue last night even though
7:13
it wasn't quite the outage there was a
7:15
lot of major major
7:17
delays talked to a couple guys in the
7:19
lounge this morning while I was getting
7:21
coffee was able to get in there before
7:23
that line got too long for they shut the
7:25
line off said they were on the tarmac
7:28
last night on the runway for like a
7:29
couple hours and then they had to turn
7:31
it around there was a medical emergency
7:33
a lady overheated he had to turn around
7:35
and go back to the gate so they just got
7:38
off the plane and they slept in the
7:39
airport and now they got to deal with
7:42
this 878 is under recovery also it's
7:46
amazing to see planes just sitting at
7:49
every at every gate not going
7:55
anywhere there's one there there's one
7:55
there there's one there
8:10
I actually looked up in Uber try to get
8:10
home my car is at my parents I don't
8:12
know if I want
8:13
to some have to go somewhere else in a
8:16
couple days I don't know if I want to
8:17
have to go through that get my car and
8:19
all that I tried to see if there's an
8:20
Uber home no Ubers are popping up so I
8:22
think that might have something to do
8:23
with the outage most of these phones are
8:25
occupied but there's a couple that
8:26
aren't they have these little neat look
8:27
at these old uh landline style phones
8:30
it's like something I remember utilizing
8:32
in my family's kitchen back in the day
8:34
before cell phones you just stand next
8:35
to the fridge and talk on the talk on
8:37
the phone yeah Delta's got a little need
8:40
help station over here it's kind of
8:58
nice all part of the experience folks
8:58
right that's weird there is one plane
9:01
well maybe it's just transferring over
9:04
there there's one plane on the tarmac
9:08
maybe either going back or maybe it just
9:09
landed I don't
9:11
know you see this one's just
9:14
grounded those over there grounded
9:47
inform
9:47
8:00 minutes
10:13
also should mention I looked at renting
10:13
a car looked at a couple rental car
10:16
companies out of here I thought well I
10:17
can just
10:18
drive I mean it would be a very lengthy
10:21
drive but I looked into that and all the
10:23
rental cars were booked up I check two
10:26
or three different rental car agencies
10:28
there was nothing out out of here so I
10:29
think last night all the delays last
10:31
night people went ahead and rent the
10:33
cars and now there aren't any at least
10:36
on the app again that might be with the
10:38
outage
10:39
because lot major it issue worldwide
10:43
maybe that's why it's not showing up
10:44
maybe there are rental cars but it's not
10:47
showing up when I try to search it
10:49
online look like some of the boards are
10:50
starting to come back look like some of
10:53
the boards are starting to come back
11:06
they
11:06
over1 it's had like a three
11:10
hour this
11:12
shows this is supposed to leave at 7:20
11:15
says Del lay
11:16
1020 don't believe it though that's a
11:19
trap I don't think they have any info
11:21
yeah I was going to go to Pittsburgh for
11:22
a couple days they had a couple of
11:24
events going on one called picklesburgh
11:26
which I thought'd be kind of a fun thing
11:28
to
11:29
get into the craziness of downtown
11:31
Pittsburgh during a pickle Festival
11:35
heard good things about it but will not
11:37
be attending that
11:39
obviously no
11:42
pickles in my immediate future at
11:45
Starbucks line still out of
11:57
control gummy Cosmetics I remember they
11:57
have a lot of gummy items here but I I
11:59
remember seeing the gummy
12:12
Cosmetics coconut
12:12
bar hello good morning hey how you doing
12:15
man look at
12:34
oh a smarties lollipop look at that
12:34
that's cute that's pretty good again I
12:37
don't know if these are properly updated
12:39
but just look at all the Reds up
12:42
there at all the
12:56
Reds everything is red as red is not
12:56
going anywhere
13:05
there's a little bit of activity out
13:05
there
13:07
though some sort of activity out there
13:10
this is gate
13:11
71 was not my
13:23
flight yeah I think I'm just going to
13:23
call it today also I think the issue
13:25
with the Uber I think maybe is because
13:26
I'm not at the outside I think I was too
13:30
far away from the standing Point outside
13:32
to order one so I also have cash on me
13:35
but I also got to get go to the ATM and
13:37
get some more cash out cuz you just
13:38
never know how the ATMs are going to
13:40
work as the day progresses in worst case
13:43
I could just purchase a tax to get a
13:45
taxi and just pay with
13:46
cash you never know when systems go
13:49
down can't use app
13:53
sometimes I'm not saying that's what's
13:55
going to happen but you just never
13:56
know all right they've changed the gate
13:59
on what would have been my flight they
14:01
made an announcement everyone got really
14:02
hyped and ran over here to the front
14:05
however there's no information on the
14:07
board and the flight is delayed which
14:10
means I would not make my connecting
14:12
flight in Atlanta
14:22
again here at 872 leing at 8
14:26
a.m. 1463 at at 8
14:31
A.M here at
14:34
872
14:39
for2
14:55
here to
14:55
geted before I able to uh
15:00
oh man should I get on this thing should
15:02
I get on this
15:04
thing yeah but the thing is there is no
15:07
plane they're already starting to have
15:08
people already starting to kind of line
15:09
up even though the plane was supposed to
15:11
board 20 minutes ago take off in like 5
15:14
minutes there's no plane at the actual
15:16
gate the the gang way defin definitely
15:19
taking a big roll of the dice if I
15:21
decide to get on this because it's
15:23
either go
15:25
home try again in a couple days and go
15:28
to my next spot or get to Atlanta today
15:31
and if everything's delayed there I
15:33
could get stuck in Atlanta
15:35
because the way the flight that I
15:37
rescheduled from last night was I would
15:40
land i' have about a 30 minute layover
15:42
before getting on the next flight to go
15:44
to Pittsburg but now with everything
15:46
delayed I could just get stuck in
15:48
Atlanta so what do I do roll of the dice
15:51
bill and I are ready to take you to you
15:53
know uh as you know the rolling delays
15:55
are going on I don't even have an
15:57
airplane at the gate I would like to
15:59
encourage you to go and find someplace
16:02
to sit for a while until I get the
16:04
airplane here once I get on the airplane
16:06
Phil and I need uh at least 30 minutes
16:09
to get it moving uh bring it to life and
16:12
uh get a program ready to go to Atlanta
16:14
so if you would go ahead and take a seat
16:16
we will give you a a PA again but uh if
16:19
you take a seat yeah I'm not taking that
16:21
as good news there's not even a plane
16:24
here on our flight 8:30 a.m. we'll have
16:27
upate for they'll have an update at 8:30
16:30
a.m. they did not say the plane will be
16:32
here at 8:30 I don't know right this is
16:35
interesting this could be the plane that
16:38
I'm supposed to be getting on except
16:41
it's not pulling in on its own power
16:42
it's being pulled in by the little
16:44
Tugboat thing usually I'll see the tugbo
16:46
things push them back to the push back
16:49
rarely do I ever see them pulling it in
16:52
maybe that's a fresh
16:59
plane so obviously it would not make my
16:59
layover if I do go to Atlanta will not
17:01
make the layover or the connecting
17:03
flight I don't know what the difference
17:04
I call it a layover but it's really a
17:06
connecting flight so I'd have to get
17:08
another Delta from Atlanta to
17:20
weird yeah it's kind of
17:20
like what do I
17:30
do I do have a seat on this flight I
17:30
could get to
17:31
Atlanta probably would make the most
17:33
sense to just go ahead and get on this
17:40
thing H wish it was a direct
17:40
flight from what I could tell there are
17:42
no direct
17:43
flights from MCO to Pittsburgh on Delta
17:57
any there at this time I'm not able to
17:57
answer all questions to G changes got to
18:00
get this out so we can save a little
18:03
more time in regards to the delay at
18:07
this time for 143 to Atlanta if you are
18:12
passengers please line up
18:18
for2 all right I've decided I'm just
18:18
going to go ahead and get on this
18:20
plane and see what happens in
18:23
Atlanta I've already got the hotel
18:25
booked in Pittsburgh obviously had it
18:27
booked last night didn't stay there but
18:29
it's waiting for me so hopefully I get
18:33
Pittsburgh guess the global outage
18:36
is kind of lifted I don't know maybe not
18:40
either way the plane's maybe going to
18:42
take
18:48
off all right looks like I'm at least
18:48
getting to Atlanta I'm sitting in seat 1
18:50
a I think it's the very first row I
18:53
think a is a window seat
19:15
first put on to any smaller items to go
19:15
underneath the seat in you if you're
19:17
having any trouble locating a spot for
19:18

19:20
throughout the cabin to
19:22

19:27
devices like laptop computers are
19:28
properly take off and Landing may be
19:31

19:32
front of you or the over B please do
19:35

for today July 19th as I'm filming
19:54
this
19:56
3:54 a.m. said they were experiencing a
20:00
technology issue and then it escalated
20:04
quickly
20:06
620 4
20:09
a.m. Delta pauses all their Global
20:12
flight
20:14
schedule due to a vendor technology
20:16
issue impacting several Airline
20:18
businesses around the
20:20
world hearing that a lot of banks and
20:22
stores aren't even
20:24
open or having issues it could have been
20:26
corrected since I was checking the new
20:28
but it's 9:08 right now this flight was
20:30
supposed to take off at 8:00 a.m. but I
20:34
am kind of surprised that it's even
20:35
considering getting in the
20:37
air and then this one this news came out
20:40
at 7:49 Delta has resumed some flight
20:44
departures
22:43
there all right I see Epcot right in the
22:43
center of the spring I see a Swan and
22:46
Dolphin I see Hollywood studi parking
22:50
lot that's more like a Hollywood studi
22:52

23:34

25:21
Atlanta F than all of your carry items
25:21
sted until the aircraft is parked at the
25:23
gate and a captain has turned off the
25:24
fast and seat Bel side remember to use
25:26
caution when opening overhead bends to
25:28
avoid injury from items that may have
25:29
shifted during flight please ensure you
25:31
have all of your personal belongings
25:32
before de
25:34
planing again we do sincerely apologize
25:36

25:38
missed your connection our Delta teams
25:39
will automatically rebook you on the
25:41
next available flight you can download
25:42

26:22
b33 take care take care thank you
26:28

26:29
one b33 but the teates
26:38
now all right the flight attendant told
26:38
me to go to b33 she said check the board
26:41
it's possible that it could be changed
26:43
the only one going to Pittsburgh is that
26:46
one right there which is at
26:49
b28 but it has a different flight number
26:52
that says 1363 maybe possibly it a
26:55
change there's only one flight to
26:57
Pittsburgh however so I'm going to head
27:00
over to the Bates I only have 15 minutes
27:03
before it stops boarding so it takes off
27:05
in a half hour also the Delta app is not
27:07
working right now so I'm just going off
27:08
of what was on the
27:10
board hoping that is The Right Flight so
27:12
I'm heading over to b28 she said b33 but
27:15
she said things change so heading over
27:18
to b28 that's the only one to Pittsburgh
27:20
