An 83-year-old man, Patrick A Bailey, has been missing for a week after a canceled flight in Orlando, Florida, due to lingering issues from the CrowdStrike outage, according to the Orlando Police Department.
Bailey checked in for his flight at Orlando International Airport on July 21 but was unable to depart and spent the night in a local hotel. He has not been heard from since checking out the following morning on July 22, reported NBC News.
Bailey was visiting his sister in Florida and was supposed to return home to California.After the flight was canceled, Bailey left his cellphone at the hotel, making it difficult for anyone to reach him. His son, Patrick Bailey Jr., expressed his concerns and uncertainties about his father’s whereabouts. “He could have possibly taken another airline,” Bailey Jr. told NBC affiliate WESH. “But he hasn’t shown up at home. We’ve had people check his house.”
The Orlando Police Department is urging anyone who has seen Bailey or has information about his location to contact them immediately. “MISSING: Patrick A.
