iPhone Owner Gets Pwned

Airline passengers were informed in mid-flight that the plane was going to land on a different airport due to bad weather. In an example of life imitating art, a man picks up his iPhone, checks the weather, gets the all-clear and then informs a flight attendant. The crew member then relays the information to the captain, who replies with this announcement over the PA system.

If the passenger with the IPhone would be kind enough to use it to check the weather at our alternate, calculate our fuel burn due to being rerouted around the storms, call the dispatcher to arrange our release, and then make a phone call to the nearest Air Traffic Control center to arrange our timely departure amongst the other aircraft carrying passengers with IPhones, then we will be more than happy to depart. Please ring your call button to advise the Flight Attendant and your fellow passengers when you deem it ready and responsible for this multi-million dollar aircraft and its passengers to safely leave.

Ouch. It's proof that owning an iPhone doesn't exempt you from getting pwned.
