    What a sensational headline. Yes, the bug can shut down the plane...after the generators have been operational for 8 MONTHS CONTINUOUSLY.

    After boarding a flight, it is not uncommon to notice all the lights and ventilation systems being briefly shut down. I would say a vast majority of flights I get on go through this procedure, and now I wonder if it is because of this bug.
