Default Flight delays

Maybe someone with more understanding of the commercial carrier flight plan
processing system can explain what I heard on MSNBC moments ago....
Extensive flight delays are occurring at Newark, LaGuardia, and JFK due to a
computer problem in Atlanta that failed to relay flight plans to the
appropriate controlling agencies in the NYC area. The system then relayed
the flight plans to a system in Salt Lake City, which became severely
overloaded and ultimately failed.

No mention of specific airlines, so is this another Lockheed hic-up??
