"(CBS) NEW YORK CBS 2 HD has learned the Federal Aviation Administration is experiencing computer problems in
departure planning, forcing numerous departure delays at airports nationwide.

Airports are apparently being forced to manually plug in flight information in order for planes to depart. It is not
yet known how long delays could last for.

Peter Mertz, a New York City resident, was on board Spirit Air flight 313 to Detroit and said he had been sitting on
the tarmac at La Guardia Airport for nearly 90 minutes. By 2:45 he said the plane had begun to move slowly for
takeoff, and that it appeared other flights were taking off again.
