From the German newsfeeds:

In view of the global IT breakdown, the German Insurance Association (GDV) has emphasized that damage caused by the failure or disruption of IT service providers is not covered by cyber insurance under the GDV model terms and conditions if this causes customers' systems to fail. “This exclusion serves to avoid jeopardizing the economic performance of cyber insurers in the event of a cyber disaster,” says the GDV.

So, no. They will not pay anything.

Insurance maybe?

I doubt that CrowdStrike or anyone else will accept liability

Yeah 

Software NOT internet related at all

Those of us who don’t use that company’s products weren’t impacted at all 

Though I am glad I wasn’t flying with Ryanair today!

Amazingly it still takes some effort to know what is and what is not an Internet issue. Better read this brief, clear text from ISOC, by Olaf Kolkmann and Dan York:
