OH, SWELL! Will future litigants claim the crash happened because of the US failing to properly maintain its GPS system?

Well, its an #AmateurRadio contest weekend and as it has been most of the U.S. summer, another #Solarstorm is headed toward Earth. #SpaceWeather #SpaceWX may play havoc with the #HamRadio #hfbands for the World Wide DIgi #DX Contest

If you have issues today on the #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #HFbands, BLAME HER! #Solarcycle25 #SolarStorms #SolarStorm #Geomagneticstorm #SpaceWeather #Spacewx

Solar storm has caused a geomagnetic induced current grid emergency in New Zealand. The grid operator has taken action to prevent a 'cascading grid failure'. https://static.transpower.co.nz/public/interfaces/gen/GEN%20Severe%20%28G4%29%20Geomagnetic%20Induced%20Current%20Event%20in%205881326725.pdf?VersionId=ndXMkAbaT82vsOkkmRvgRjdp1uN1Ybjp

I hope those in charge of all this stuff are taking the CME threat seriously.
What Damage Could Be Caused by a Massive Solar Storm?
An enormous solar storm could short out telecom satellites, radio communications, and power grids, leading to trillions of dollars in damages, experts say
Joseph Stromberg
February 22, 2013"If a CME as large as the one that triggered the 1859 storm were to occur today, the consequences could be devastating. Given the increase in our reliance on electricity and telecommunications (even since 1989), the effects would certainly be far more significant than malfunctioning telegraph pylons.
"It’s hard to appreciate just how many aspects of modern life rely on technologies that could be affected. As Daniel Baker of the University of Colorado’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics told National Geographic in 2011, 'Every time you purchase a gallon of gas with your credit card, that’s a satellite transaction.' A giant storm could disrupt our GPS systems, communication with planes in flight and other crucial satellite-based technologies.
"But the biggest concern, experts say, would be disruptions to our power grid—as a 2011 OECD report (PDF) on the impacts of solar storms points out, 'Electric power is modern society’s cornerstone technology on which virtually all other infrastructures and services depend.' A surge in solar wind can blow out power transformers by melting their copper windings, and especially in highly interconnected regions (such as the East Coast), transformer failures can trigger cascading effects, spreading power outages over wide areas.
"One analysis looked at a 1921 storm—which was ten times more powerful than the 1989 event—and estimated that if it occurred today, it would leave some 130 million people without power, potentially affecting water and food distribution, heating and air conditioning, sewage disposal and a host of other aspects of the infrastructure we take for granted daily. The total cost of an even larger storm, such as the 1859 event, could be enormous: an estimated $1 to $2 trillion in the first year alone, and a total recovery that could take 4 to 10 years in total."
