Hopefully not too off-topic, but it reminded me of something strange that happened on a recentish flight on another airline. I noticed the flight tracker map on my neighbour's screen was showing what I would expect, but mine was showing the plane going in the wrong direction. How is that possible? I hadn't even been drinking, and it wasn't a fancy interactive one where you can change the perspective. After turning it off and turning it back on, mine matched the the one on the screen beside me.
