Massive Shinkansen delay?

Hey everyone, just wondering what the deal is with the hour+ shinkansen delays this morning?

I've been using the shinkansen pretty regularly over the past few weeks, and today when I headed over to Shin-Osaka station I found that every shinkansen bound eastward was delayed by at least an hour. This is quite shocking since I've never found the shinkansens to run late beyond just a few minutes.

Did something happen? I tried looking up info on JR's website but all that's listed is a delay for train inspection. I can't imagine that's the only reason for the delay though. Just curious, any info is appreciated. Thanks!
