Crashing the IFE

Post by earthman »

A little tidbit which I thought would be nice to share with you all, somebody managed to crash the IFE on the whole plane:

I've seen the whole of the BA system re-boot. Every screen went blank, (the flight was from Nassau to London, over December 24/25 2005, a 767 with 30 PAX) even the welcome screens, and then came on again a few minutes later, with every screen displaying the welcome screen. They wound back the tapes for everything a few minutes, so that we could all catch up. I think that it was someone playing with the games in WT+
