But that’s not all that crashed today (in addition to the Chinese stock market): United Airlines had to ground all of their flights earlier.
We experienced a network connectivity issue. We are working to resolve and apologize for any inconvenience.

We’re recovering from a network connectivity issue & restoring flight ops. We’ll have a waiver on http://t.co/ufFoKFTNNe to change flights.
