General Paulus to Command,
Don’t worry fellas it’s just a glitch…
CDR Jim Lovell on Air-to-Ground 1: “Houston, we’ve had a little glitch.”
What a coincidence. In March, 2011, Japanese power company TEPCO also reported a glitch at the nuclear power plant located in Fukushima.

Apparently there was a glitch in our teletype machine. Now understand that correct order from Wannsee was to “Thrill all of the Jews”. Plans are underway to host big cultural fair and music festival, but fear attendance may be low due to prior miscommunication.
And the little glitch in San Francisco in 1906.
Or the little glitches in the north eastern power grid in 1965 and 2003.
