'They Kept Pushing It Back': Suicide Squad's Joel Kinnaman Reveals He Slept On Airport Floor While Traveling Amid Microsoft's Global Tech Outage
Suicide Squad actor Joel Kinnaman revealed that he had to sleep on the airport floor due to Microsoft's global tech outage.
Suicide Squad star Joel Kinnaman was under a bit of duress due to the malfunction of Microsoft technology recently. It grounded him overnight at an airport and compelled him to sleep on the floor.
For context, Windows users around the world were experiencing a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error resulting in system shutdowns or restarts without notice. The recent reason for this is cited by Microsoft as being an updated version provided by CrowdStrike incorporated into its software package. Many firms’ computer systems were rendered no longer functional including banks, airlines and emergency services due to an IT disruption like this one.
