UK air traffic chaos caused by millisecond software glitch, report finds

The finding shifts the story from human error to software resilience, a distinction that matters for how critical infrastructure is governed. Air traffic control sits far from crypto markets, but the underlying lesson — a sub-millisecond failure propagating into thousands of cancellations — is the same operational risk that RWA tokenization and on-chain settlement layers inherit when they touch real-world systems. Whether the report leads to changes in how such systems are tested and certified is the open question worth watching.
