Southwest, Delta flight delays at California airport caused by cut AT&T wires

An internet outage that caused massive delays, some hours-long, for flights at the Sacramento International Airport (SMF) started after AT&T wires were intentionally cut, officials said. Sgt. Amar Gandhi, a spokesperson for the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, said wires were deliberately cut at Bayou Way and Power Line Road, causing the outages that affected flights from Southwest and Delta airlines.
