Whiteboards being used at @belfastairport as all the screens are blue. Passenger Martin McElroy took this, and told us that it's like “the dark ages, but to be fair they’re making it work, which you have to give them credit for.” #outage pic.twitter.com/FfSmEHCvuO

@Microsoft outage. Never a good sign when you see the "blue screen" at the airport. Might have to livestream my @AmCollSurgeons Quality and Safety conference talk if I can't make it there in time! pic.twitter.com/bW5kz4uA0a
