Amazon Web Services recovered Monday morning from a widespread outage that disrupted services for major retailers, airlines, social media apps, financial platforms, and more. AWS infrastructure supports millions of websites and platforms.Air France 447 in 2009, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, and the recent Germanwings A320 incidents have drawn attention due to their significant impact on the airline industry, often attributing blame to pilot suicide, storms, or poor judgment. Similarly, crashes involving electric trains like the Disney Monorail, DC Metro in 2009, and Amtrak 188 are investigated with discussions of safety devices, track maintenance, or mechanical failure taking center stage. 
The public only begins to suspect something larger at play when widespread issues arise. Disruptions in cell phone service are often blamed on blocked tower access or bad weather, while the Blackberry outage in 2008 was attributed to a software glitch. However, engineers maintaining equipment and the grid are not easily deceived. During the Washington DC blackout, an electrical issue initially described as a "surge" hinted at something unusual.
A key distinction exists between a failed electrical system, a simple outage, and an electromagnetic pulse. A pulse causes a surge—a sudden increase in magnetons and electrons—that disrupts equipment reliant on steady particle flow, leading to a runaway state. Surge protection can guard against lightning strikes, shutting down equipment to prevent damage. Yet, absent a lightning strike, such surges may point to the charged tail of Planet X, also known as Nibiru.
What lies ahead for the public? As cell phone service and satellite cable TV continue to degrade, and as planes experience increasing electronics failures or cockpit smoke incidents, the challenges posed by such phenomena may become harder to ignore.

YEREVAN, September 1. /TASS/. A Boeing 737 plane operated by the Armenia air carrier, which was on its way from Yerevan to Moscow, made an emergency landing in Tbilisi due to problems with the aircraft’s electrical devices. No one was hurt, a spokesman for the Armenian civil aviation authority said on Sunday.
"The Boeing 737 was en route from Yerevan to Moscow but had to make an emergency landing at Tbilisi’s airport due to problems with electrical devices. There were 118 passengers onboard. Neither the passengers nor the crew members were hurt," the spokesman said.
“We have since determined that a seal failed in the aircraft’s left engine, causing oil to leak onto hot parts of the plane’s engine and air conditioning pressurization system," a spokesperson for Hawaiian Airlines tells PEOPLE
A plane traveling from Oakland to Hawaii made an emergency landing on Thursday (Aug 22) after experiencing an engine problem that caused smoke to fill up the plane.
A spokesperson for Hawaiian Airlines tells PEOPLE that the flight, which was carrying 184 passengers and seven crew members, landed in Honolulu at 11:36 a.m. local time, “about 20 minutes after an in-flight emergency was declared due to reports of smoke in the cargo hold and cabin.”
“We have since determined that a seal failed in the aircraft’s left engine, causing oil to leak onto hot parts of the plane’s engine and air conditioning pressurization system, resulting in smoke in the cabin,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “The performance of the engine was not affected, and the Airbus A321neo flight landed without incident on runway 4R. First responders met the aircraft upon arrival, and emergency slides were deployed to assist in an evacuation.”
A total of seven passengers “were transported to local hospitals due to smoke-related symptoms,” the spokesperson confirms.
American Medical Response spokesman James Ireland says those hospitalized include five adults and two children, one of whom is 9 months old, the Associated Press reports. All of their injuries are considered minor.

Report finds ‘extremely rare and unexpected event’ led to travel chaos
A simultaneous malfunction at an offshore windfarm and gas facility caused a power cut in the UK earlier this month, according to a new report.
The unexplained outages followed moments after a lightning strike, the National Grid Electricity System Operator (NGESO) said.
Officials said the lightning strike hit a transmission circuit at 4.52pm on 9 August.
Such strikes are common, and the national grid’s protection systems cleared the lightning in under 0.1 seconds.
But moments after the strike the UK lost 5 per cent of its power.
Simultaneous outages, associated with the strike, occurred independently at Hornsea offshore windfarm and Little Barford gas power station
The two sites are more than 100 miles apart.
“The total generation lost from these two transmission-connected generators was 1,378mw,” the NGESO interim report said.
The scale of generation loss meant that the 1000mw level of “backup” power held under regulations was insufficient.
As a result, the system automatically disconnected customers on the distribution network.
Around 5 per cent of electricity demand was turned off to protect the other 95 per cent.
Such a vast outage has not occurred in more than a decade.
“As generation would not be expected to trip off or de-load in response to a lightning strike, this appears to represent an extremely rare and unexpected event,” the report said.
The lightning strike was one of many to hit the national grid on the day.
NGESO said lightning strikes are “routinely managed as part of normal system operations”.
The power cut caused travel chaos during rush hour in London and the southeast.
Traffic lights were knocked out, flights grounded and passengers stuck on halted trains for hours, with one commuter describing the atmosphere at Clapham Junction as “like witnessing something out of an apocalyptic film”.
Euston and King’s Cross train stations were brought to a standstill, with commuters forced to use the torches on their mobile phones to exit the London Underground, which was plunged into darkness in some areas.
Train signals lost power across the south, in Bristol, Newport and Eastbourne, while passengers travelling from Edinburgh to London were stuck on a train for an extra eight hours.
The Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (Ofgem), the industry regulator, said it was launching an investigation following the report.
The probe is set to examine the national grid’s requirements to hold sufficient backup power, as well as how generators met their obligations with respect to the transmission fault, and whether distribution network operators complied with their obligations.
The regulator will also examine “whether the companies made the right decisions both in the numbers of customers disconnected and whether those customers disconnected were the right ones”.
“It’s important that the industry takes all possible steps to prevent this happening again,” said Jonathan Brearley, Ofgem’s executive director of systems and networks.
“Having now received National Grid ESO’s interim report, we believe there are still areas where we need to use our statutory powers to investigate these outages.
“This will ensure the industry learns the relevant lessons, and clearly establish whether any firm breached their obligations to deliver secure power supplies to consumers.”

ALEXANDRIA, La. (KALB) - There were some tense moments at England Airpark on Monday evening when preparations were made for an emergency landing.

According to England Airpark Executive Director Sandra McQuain, a call came in just after 6 p.m. that a pilot was reporting smoke in the cockpit.
McQuain said the plane was a private Cessna Citation Jet.
There was talk that the jet might land at Esler Regional Airport, but the decision was made for the pilot to land at AEX due to the longer runways.
The England Airpark Fire Department and other emergency vehicles responded to the scene, but fortunately, the pilot landed without incident around 7:45 p.m.
“We’re glad to report he landed safely, and all is well at AEX,” McQuain said.
London hit by power outage following suspected national grid failure

London (CNN)London and large parts of England and Wales were hit by massive power cut on Friday after a suspected national grid failure, UK power companies said Friday.
"We're aware of a power cut affecting a large area of London and South East. We believe this is due to a failure to National Grid's network, which is affecting our customers," UK Power Networks tweeted, later replying to customers confirming that "the issue was caused by a fault on the National Transmission Network," and that they expect power to be restored.
Western Power Distribution, which distributes power to the Midlands, the South West region and Wales said that they were experiencing a "major incident on the national electricity infrastructure," but added that 90% of their customers have since had their power restored.
Transport for London (TfL) has also confirmed to CNN that parts of its train network were affected following the power outage on Friday evening, but that power had been restored and service was expected to be back up and running shortly.
Londoners shared pictures of the power surge on Twitter, which showed the tube network in darkness.
The outage also affected several overground train services, with Thameslink tweeting that its trains had been brought to a "standstill," and London North Eastern Railway said several of its had broken down, according to PA.

Tourists can be seen using the evacuation slide on the runway in Valencia 
The plane apparently flew for 10 minutes with the cabin filled with smoke
Passenger Lucy Brown said the journey felt 'like a horror film' and was terrifying 
Three passengers have suffered smoke inhalation and 12 others need treatment after a British Airways flight made an emergency landing in Spain with a smoke-filled cabin.
Footage posted online shows passengers using the evacuation slide on the runway in Valencia, and a clip from the cabin shows the air thick with smoke.
Lucy Brown posted pictures of the smoking cabin on Twitter and said the events -which unfolded at around 7pm today - 'felt like a horror film.'
She said: @British_Airways terrifying experience on flight to Valencia. Felt like horror film. Thankfully everyone safe. Flight filled with smoke and had to be emergency evacuated. #britishairways.
Three people have been taken to hospital for checks, while others are understood to have suffered minor friction burns after jumping down the emergency chutes during the scare.
Irate travellers have lambasted the airline on social media after the evacuation, saying there was no first aid or water provided, people were crying at the terminal, and there has been a lack of information from the airline about the incident.
Miguel J Galindo, posted footage of the passengers being evacuated from the plane and the smoke filled cabin they were forced to deal with prior to landing.
On Twitter, he said: 'BA422 landed in VLC with smoke on the cabin and passengers leaving through evacuation ramp. what is happenning? No info to passengers.'
In a further clip posted by Gayle Fitzpatrick, what appears to be a member of BA staff is on the phone in the smoke filled cabin, as a passenger implores the airline to 'make an announcement.'
Gayle Fiztpatrick was also critical of the airline on Twitter, saying: #Emergency Landing Still waiting to hear what actually happened on our British Airways flight from LHR to Valencia in which our cabin filled with smoke in the last 10 minutes of flight, had to disembark via emergency chutes. No comms 60 mins and counting!
In a series of tweets Spanish journalist Dani Merono said from the smoke-filled cabin: 'We have just landed and the door hasn't opened.
'We are all here and can't breathe. It's madness!'

MILWAUKEE — An Air Force plane made an emergency landing Thursday night (July 26) at Milwaukee’s Mitchell International Airport.
The aircraft landed safely after being forced to make the emergency landing about 8:15 p.m.
Airport officials told WISN 12 News the Air Force plane isn't based in Milwaukee and that it was able to taxi off the runway.
The initial report for incident indicated there was smoke in the cockpit, but that has not been confirmed.
After an inspection on the west side of the airport where the plane landed, crews towed the plane across the airport grounds to the 128th Refueling Wing, which is customary for military aircraft.
