FAA LAX/ZLA Computer Outage: "ERAM Failure" Havoc in the making?

Crazy stuff there. Normally you can call the ATIS and get a 1:30 listen before it hangs up on you. Right now, 20 seconds at the most. It doesn't help that Ontario is in east ops right now, either. Should make for great listening at all of the LA Basin airports.

Affected airports include Los Angeles, Bob Hope Airport (Burbank), John Wayne Airport (Orange County), Las Vegas, Salt Lake City and Phoenix.

All sorts of fun going on here. http://www.liveatc.net/flisten.php?mount=klax5&icao=klax
