East Coast troubles blamed on ERAM "technical issues"

[Gstrawley]

Can anyone fill me in on the background about this system? Just curious.

"Flights bound for the Washington area and some flights from airports in the New York City area that must fly over the Washington region were being delayed or grounded Saturday due to "technical issues" at an air traffic control center in Virginia, the Federal Aviation Administration said."
