What happened around the world during the biggest technological collapse in history?

The outage in Microsoft systems pulled the plug on the world. Flights were grounded, surgeries were canceled, stock exchanges could not process trades, and banking systems collapsed... The world was plunged into a blue screen of death silence. When the issue was resolved, the world breathed a sigh of relief. However, concerns about the future have increased.

A digital doomsday scenario has become reality across the world. For hours, services provided online by hospitals, airports, airlines, trains, banks, stock exchanges, supermarkets, and media companies almost completely collapsed. Tens of thousands of flights were canceled. Passengers formed long queues at airports.

Surgeries were canceled, appointment systems failed, and doctors could not even write prescriptions. Airlines began processing tickets manually. Online banking transactions were interrupted. International news channels switched to emergency broadcasts. Transactions could not be processed in supermarkets. Stock exchanges in some countries could not open. Even buses were pulled into garages.

The outage occurred in the systems of the US-based technology company Microsoft. As a result, many sectors using the Windows operating system became inoperable. It was stated that the issue originated from CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity firm that performs computer threat monitoring. Although CrowdStrike rolled back the faulty update, systems did not recover for a long time. It is estimated that the cost of the outage globally has reached billions of dollars.

According to a report by Barış Ergin from Sabah, US technology giant Microsoft has also issued a statement acknowledging that the service outages originated from them. In a statement on its social media platform, the company said, "Some issues may persist, but a full resolution will be implemented soon." It was stated that the current issue may be affecting all users attempting to use various Microsoft 365 applications and services.

A subsequent statement said, "Our telemetry shows that all applications affected by the software issue have recovered." It was reported that the applications and services affected by the outage included Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Purview, and OneDrive.

A configuration change in the Azure cloud system was pointed to as the main cause of the issue, which led to an interruption between storage and computing resources. The CEO of Crowdstrike stated, "The issue has been identified, isolated, and a fix has been deployed." He added that it was not a cyberattack or a security-related incident.

All companies affected by the major outage blamed Microsoft in their statements. Airline companies made announcements to their passengers at airports, explicitly mentioning Microsoft's name. Following the outage that affected the world, CrowdStrike shares plummeted. The company's shares fell by 20 percent in pre-market trading in the US, though the loss later narrowed to 9.22 percent. In pre-market trading, the decline in Microsoft shares reached 2 percent. During the day, the stock's loss was 0.69 percent.

German hospitals have canceled some elective surgeries due to outages. In addition to the cancellations in Kiel and Lübeck, outpatient clinics have also been closed. All flights at Berlin Airport have been suspended. Flights arriving in Berlin have been diverted to other airports. Germany's flagship airline, Lufthansa, also announced that it is experiencing issues with bookings.

The Netherlands was one of the countries most affected by the outage. Hospitals halted surgeries. The Slingeland Hospital in the Achterhoek region announced that it would only serve emergency patients and requested that patients not come to the hospital unless their condition was life-threatening. Hospitals in the city of Emmen, in the east of the country, also announced that operations had been suspended.

Amsterdam Schiphol, the busiest airport in the Netherlands, has also come to a standstill. The outage has affected all flights departing from and arriving at Schiphol. Dutch airline KLM announced that it has suspended the majority of its operations due to the IT outage. Buses in Utrecht were not running.

Airports in Tokyo were also affected by the outage. A statement from Japan's Narita Airport, located approximately 60 kilometers from Tokyo, reported that airlines such as JetStar, Jeju Air, Qantas, HK Express, and Spring Japan were experiencing issues with their systems.

Hours of uncertainty and chaos prevailed at Sydney Airport. The departure board's information screens went dark; Jetstar Airways announced that passengers were unable to check in. The apology on the public address system explicitly blamed Microsoft. Virgin Australia was also unable to fly. Australian telecommunications company Telstra Group was also affected by the outage.

US airlines have issued a global ground stop for all flights. United, Delta, and American Airlines have grounded all their flights. Police in the US state of Alaska reported an outage affecting emergency telephone lines. Trains were also not operating.

It has been reported that all airports in Spain have been affected by an information technology (IT) outage. In Ireland, Ryanair announced that the outage has caused global disruptions.

Belgian Railways was unable to process ticketing operations. Brussels Airport advised passengers to arrive early. At Charleroi Airport, waiting times increased as passengers formed long queues.

The German Stock Exchange, the London Stock Exchange, and the Swiss Stock Exchange were also among those affected by the outage. The German Stock Exchange reported that trading had begun as normal but that checks were continuing. A statement from the Swiss Stock Exchange noted that the sixth group of systems was operating normally. The London Stock Exchange (LSEG) stated that an outage affecting user access worldwide had occurred.

In France, many sectors from aviation to the press were negatively affected. French airline Air France announced that there would be disruptions to some flights. Many media organizations, from the French channel TF1 to Cnews and the French newspaper Le Figaro, were affected by the outage.

Error warnings were displayed on the website of Disneyland Paris, Europe's largest theme park, and on billboards inside the park. The Paris Olympics Organizing Committee announced that its operations were affected by the outage.

Media companies were also affected by the outage. Sky News was unable to broadcast live, and Executive Chairman David Rhodes said, "We apologize to our viewers for the disruption."

The Israeli Ministry of Health also stated that "the global failure in computer servers is affecting hospitals and healthcare services." It was reported that problems are being experienced.

At Hong Kong Airport, check-in procedures were carried out manually rather than online due to a technical failure. In India, many airlines also processed ticketing manually.

CrowdStrike is a company specializing in the field of cybersecurity. Founded in 2011, the company provides protection for organizations against cyber threats by using cloud-based solutions and artificial intelligence-powered technologies. Known particularly for its "Falcon" platform, CrowdStrike works to detect and prevent attacks in real time.

The world has experienced the largest technological collapse in history across software systems. An outage in the systems of the US-based technology company Microsoft has rendered many companies inoperable.

Comments were made that the outage was a rehearsal for the 'Great Reset' theory put forward by global elites. This concept was introduced in 2020 by figures such as World Economic Forum (WEF) Chairman Klaus Schwab and the Prince of Wales, Charles. Although the vision presented by the dominant political and economic elites of the global system is adorned with elements such as social justice, sustainability, environmental friendliness, and inclusivity, it aims for a 'digital and borderless' world.

Subheadings in the great reset include health systems, international security, transportation, tourism, law... The goal is to design a more steerable society through digitalization.
