CHICAGO: United Airlines passengers across the country were stranded after a computer crash grounded flights for hours Friday night.
The airline announced on Twitter shortly after 1 am CDT Saturday that its computer systems were up and running, about five hours after the systems went down. The airline said it was in the process of resuming operations. Some passengers had to stay the night in the cities where they had been stranded or were waiting in terminals filled with people wanting to get on flights.
United did not say what caused the computer issue or how many passengers or flights were affected. The airline did not return calls and emails seeking comment.
As a result of the outage, long lines of passengers formed at airports in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver and Chicago.
