Computer Failure Grounds United Flights

Via CBS News -

(CBS/AP) A massive computer failure at United Airlines halted all departing flights systemwide for the carrier this morning.

The cause of the two-hour outage wasn't immediately clear.

At Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, some flights sat on the tarmac for several hours. CBS Station WBBM correspondent Kris Habermehl reported that arriving airplanes are unable to connect to gates because departing planes have been unable to leave.
