Joel Kinnaman was among the countless travelers stranded overnight at the airport. His journey from Atlanta to Los Angeles, typically a routine flight, turned into an almost 24-hour odyssey thanks to the global tech snafu.

The Swedish actor recounted how he ended up sleeping on the airport floor, using whatever he had on hand as a makeshift pillow.

The global cyber outage, triggered by a CrowdStrike software update, not only grounded thousands of flights but also wreaked havoc on hospitals and even disrupted preparations for the Paris Olympics. Delta, one of the three major airlines heavily affected, was likely Kinnaman’s carrier.

The Suicide Squad actor’s plight highlights the widespread impact the global tech outage had, making it a relatable moment for all those who have faced similar travel headaches.

Joel Kinnaman early in 2016, starred with the likes of Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Viola Davis and Jared Leto in Summer blockbuster ‘Suicide Squad’, and reprised the role in its sequel ‘The Suicide Squad’ during the Covid-19 pandemic.
