An iPad glitch brought multiple American Airlines flights to a halt. The app which is specifically designed for pilots to track and record flight data failed, leaving multiple planes stranded at terminals for hours until the situation was rectified. An article on Quartz reported: "An investigation by the airline traced the problem to an iPad app made by the Boeing subsidiary Jeppesen, which contains maps of various airport facilities. When a new version of a runway map for Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport was distributed, it conflicted with an older version of the map stored on some pilots' iPads, an airline spokesman told Recode."

Possible Preaching Angle:

As our society becomes more and more focused on using technology to make our lives easier and more efficient, we should remember anything can fail. Are the things you are putting your faith in going to keep you from reaching your destination?
