Tens of thousands of people were stranded Monday after Delta Air Lines flights were grounded around the globe due to a system outage.
The carrier pointed to an overnight power outage in its hometown of Atlanta, saying that has "impacted Delta computer systems and operations worldwide, resulting in flight delays."
The glitch appeared to knock Delta's automated check-in kiosks offline, forcing agents at ticket counters to manually check-in some passengers. Reports from KARE 11 TV of Minneapolis and from CBS' London bureau indicated that some of Delta's systems have come back online. Even with that being the case, fliers should brace for a tough day on the carrier.
