  "summary": "During a nationwide FAA ground stop on Friday, Nov. 13, several musicians performed aboard a Southwest Airlines flight traveling from Los Angeles to Orlando, Florida. The artists, who were traveling to attend the Vans Warped Tour at Camping World Stadium, participated in the airline's “Live at 35” program. The performers included Hoobastank, Simple Plan, The Used, and LØLØ.\n\nAccording to TheWrap, Hoobastank frontman Doug Robb sang “The Reason” and “Crawling in the Dark” while walking down the plane's center aisle. Simple Plan’s Pierre Bouvier performed acoustic versions of “Perfect” and “I’m Just a Kid,” while The Used played “The Taste of Ink.” LØLØ performed her song “hot girls in hell.” The FAA's four-hour ground stop disrupted air travel across the country, resulting in more than 12,500 grounded flights.",
