Delta Air Lines flights grounded due to computer woes

Delta Air Lines tweets that its computer systems are down “everywhere” and it has grounded flights as a result.

WGCL-TV, the CBS affiliate in Atlanta, where Delta is based, reports the problem was first uncovered when a flight was to take off from San Francisco.

Delta says flights in the air are OK:

Due to a computer outage, flights awaiting departure are currently delayed. Flights enroute are operating normally.
