 Was anybody here affected by the CrowdStrike Thing?
My nephew's wife flew to Europe that day without incident.

 We were on a river cruise on the Columbia and Snake Rivers. We were about 2 hours late leaving from one port because of the problem. It makes no sense why this should be so.

Various possibilities. For example, the Crowdstrike glitch could have affected the boat's navigation computers, the company's ticket buying and checking system, etc.
