For want of a single ethernet card, an airport was lost ...

This is rich .. LAX airport shut down for hours because of a PC with a
duff network card.  Now I wonder which major contractor has the
contract to set up and run the network at LAX, and how much in damages
and SLA costs he is looking at, when an airport gets shut down from 2
pm to midnight.
