The hail also destroyed the GPS navigation system at the front of the aircraft, which was flying from Boston to Salt Lake City on Friday night

If the GPS navigation system was flying from Boston to SLC, where was the rest of the airplane coming from and going to???

Take a look at the photos!
I know they test the jet turbines?
But on occasion just a few soft and fuzzy birds will shut them down!

Some people rented cars and drove the rest of the way. A flight like that one would cure me of flying forever heh.

God’s hand was definitely on that flight.
