Houston: Passengers piled up in the queue because of the customs outage.

Passengers lined up at customs at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

It is the busiest airport in the world

People waiting in line at JFK airport in New York City for up to 90 minutes because of the computer outage at customs.

According to CNN, 30 flights into Miami International Airport were delayed beginning at 6pm.

John F Kennedy International Airport had delays up to 90 minutes long.

The outage began around 5pm and lasted until 9pm.

Some passengers had to be processed by hand because of the glitch.

During the outage, passengers were able to be processed because customs had access to national security-related databases.

There is no evidence that the computer malfunction signified hacking.

The agency said in a statement: 'US Customs and Border Protection is experiencing a temporary outage with its processing systems at various airports of entry and taking immediate action to address the technology disruption.'

Miami International Airport. 2nd January, 2017.


Crowds were packed at Miami International Airport because of the customs glitch.

Cyber Attack?



On one of the busiest travel days of the year, many airplane passengers were trapped in hours long lines because of a nationwide customs computer outage.Major airports in New York, Houston, Atlanta and Miami were affected by these delays on the US public holiday.

There were also long lines in Boston's Logan Airport and Los Angeles International Airport.

The traveling snafu caused delays ranging from 30 minutes to two hours and hundreds of people got off flights and into motionless queues.

Michelle Sencibaugh, a teacher from St Louis told USA Today: 'People started to pass out, people were screaming, shoving each other with luggage. People were scared, absolutely.'

'CBP took immediate action to address the issue and CBP officers continued to process international travelers using alternative procedures at airports experiencing the disruption.

''Travelers at some ports of entry experienced longer than usual wait times as CBP officers processed travelers as quickly as possible while maintaining the highest levels of security.

''During the technology disruption, CBP had access to national security-related databases and all travelers were screened according to security standards.

At this time, there is no indication the service disruption was malicious in nature.'

Maria Strydom and Robert Gropel.



Maria Strydom died on Mount Everest after falling ill with altitude sickness near the summit.


At first Robert Gropel thought his wife, Maria Strydom, was simply exhausted from the effort of climbing Everest.

The Australian couple had halted at well above 8,000 metres, in an area known as the death zone, as Strydom said she could not continue.

Gropel asked her for permission to go on to the summit.

What neither of them realised was that it was not simply exhaustion but altitude sickness, and that it would cost 34-year-old Strydom her life.

Above 8,000 metres, even with supplemental oxygen, the risks increase markedly.

The blood thickens which, combined with dehydration and effort, can trigger altitude sickness, which at its worst can cause a lethal buildup of fluid on the lungs and brain.

Complicating the issue is that it affects individuals in different ways, and the onset of the first symptoms is sometimes mistaken for tiredness or a minor illness.

Decision making can become more difficult.

Small mistakes, a dropped item of equipment, a stumble, something as simple as not drinking enough or the question of when to turn back or carry on can have multiplying and serious consequences.

With the summit apparently only 15 minutes away, Gropel asked his wife whether he should continue without her.


Robert Gropel said he blamed himself for Maria Strydom’s death.

“I asked: ‘Do you mind if I go on,’ and she said: ‘Yes, you go on, I’ll wait for you here,’” he told the Seven Network. “From that position the summit didn’t look that far.

“I didn’t want to separate from her. I wanted her to keep going,” he said of the decision to leave her and press on to the top.

“I also understood she was very exhausted.

I just ran up and down and it didn’t mean anything to me. Because we do everything together and everything else we did together was much more special.

“When I made it to the summit of Everest it wasn’t special to me, because I didn’t have her there.”

After he returned to Strydom the pair began their descent, but it was soon clear that something was seriously amiss.

Strydom began hallucinating, struggled to walk and was talking incoherently, perhaps the result of a stroke triggered by cerebral odema.

Helped at times by a group of sherpa guides, and at other times apparently struggling on his own, he shared oxygen with Strydom until that ran out and then, suffering the effects of altitude himself, recalled that he had medication for altitude sickness.

“It took a while for me to register that I had medication and so as soon as I realised I gave her a dexamethasone injection.”

But the long period spent high on the mountain was taking its toll on Strydom, who by the time she faded into unconsciousness had been without extra oxygen for 20 hours.

“I could see that her condition had deteriorated,” Gropel said. “She was going through periods of being lucid and periods of hallucinating.”

“There was a point where we thought she would get better.

Her condition had improved and she was taking medication and fluids and had made camp. And then overnight she just got worse.” Strydom died in Gropel’s arms on 20 May.

“Walking away was the hardest thing [for him],” Pennells said. “You can imagine, or hopefully you can’t, making the decision to come off the mountain knowing that the body of your wife is up there.”

Strydom, a university lecturer, and Gropel, a vet, had wanted to climb the highest mountains on each continent, a challenge known as the Seven Summits.

“I’m her husband, it’s my job to protect my wife and get her home and it’s just natural for me to blame myself. I still can’t look at any pictures of her because it breaks my heart.”

The Channel Tunnel (The Chunnel).


Opened in 1994, the Channel Tunnel is an undersea connection between England and France.

Crossing the English Channel, the tunnel holds the record for longest undersea portion, at 37.9 km (23.5 mi) out of a total length of 50.5 km (31.4 mi).

The tunnel reaches a depth of impressive 75 m (250 ft) and allow trains to travel at 160 kmh (99 mph).

With the channel tunnel passengers can travel from London to Paris in just 2 hours 15 minutes.
