Have you ever heard of fluoridation SCADA?
Remote command and control of industrial plant which is often woefully secured.
Some years back the US/Israelis/both were able to destroy hundreds of extremely expensive and hard to obtain uranium enrichment centrifuges in a supposedly top secret plant in Iran because someone plugged an infected USB key into something that should never have had anything plugged into it.
But usually it's ports left open on the firewall and default passwords.
Regardless of any external interference or not, what is more worrying is that some eejit designed the electrical grid in the area in such a way as to supply pretty much the entirety of one of the world's busiest airports via a single point of failure - Hanlon's Razor - "never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity"
Urgent delivery of essential pharmaceuticals perhaps.
I do love that quote. Use it very oftennwhen people at work think chaos is planned.
Didn't realise it had a name ; "Hanlons Razor "

Virgin relocating this morning
It has 3 feeds… for whatever reason, the disaster recovery plan to use either of the other two wasn't utilised.
Mission critical systems were functioning, so theoretically, they could have landed planes… it was all the people moving services which were out of action (building lights, escalators, lifts, baggage belts, charge points for electric ground tugs, information screens, etc….)
Had the plane icons always had shadows? Just noticed it now!
Also the track line is dotted instead of just plain
I just checked it now. Apparently the dots give the altitude of the aircraft at that particular spot when you hover the mouse over them. (I'm using a PC) Much more accurate than previously where the altitude was harder to ascertain.
I think the aircraft shadows were always there, depending on your settings.
Something seems to have delayed the takeoff for the Delta flight from Dublin to Atlanta DL 177.
Returning to stand.
Apparently a hydraulic leak for the Delta plane. Getting towed back to the stand. I'd imagine that means a long delay or a cancellation?
..as well as a thorough inspection of any apron/runway it may have leaked hydraulic oil onto…
Reported brake and nose wheel steering issues
Departed at 1603.
There was an updated pushed out today: https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/inside-flightradar24/supercharging-flightradar24s-data-display/
Ha - seems only some have shadow? …and it's dark now 🙃
Antanov AN-124 just passed over Newport on way into Shannon.

Concorde in flight. It is April 1st though…
Well played…Grr😡…well played
Why did you add the disclaimer-spoiler soon after, though? 😂
I should have said nothing and enjoyed the fall out..
Amusingly, he's not following the traffic in, he's going to land cross-wind. 😁
not on commercial tracking sites, but French AF C-130 inbound Dublin from the UK, should land in about 1hr- 1hr 30mins time….
Dublin CTA entry point is VATRY, so with RWY10L in action for arrival, should be visible low level over Wicklow and SW/W Dublin.
RAF Boeing P-8 Poseidon scouring the northern Irish Sea at low altitude currently. Must be hunting something interesting, it's not often they are seen in this area.
