Errors in GPS can tell aircraft (or cars or ships) that they're miles from where they actually are, or even that they're in the Gulf of Guinea off the coast of Nigeria, the "zero point" for GPS systems.

I think very few people would be fooled into thinking they're driving off the coast of Nigeria (unless you're a Democrat then that could be an issue).

So that’s why Ted Kennedy ended up in the water - a GPS glitch.

That’s as good as any of the various stories he told at the time.

"off coast of Nigeria"

That happens sometimes on my Apple work phone. Starting point when first opened will be Africa.

Distance to point entered, 5,623 miles.

Holy Flatulent Cow.

So driving on the water off the coast of Nigeria gave the AOC sect the idea of trains across the oceans. Who woulda thunk it?

Plus, ties in with the theory that all the American funds for desperate Nigerians on their heartfelt emails to Americans actually went to AOC. All this time I thought those poor guys were real. /s
