CRAYON summary

Hoobastank, Simple Plan, The Used and LØLØ performed aboard a Southwest Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Orlando, Florida, as part of the airline's "Live at 35" program while traveling to Vans Warped Tour. The performances coincided with a nationwide air travel ground stop; Variety reports the flight took place on Nov. 13, while also describing the grounding as occurring on Friday.

How the coverage differs

All three outlets report the same core facts: Hoobastank, Simple Plan, The Used and Lolo performed on a Southwest flight while air travel was grounded nationwide. Rolling Stone leads with the Warped Tour destination and treats the ground stop as something that "coincided" with Southwest's "Live at 35" gig. Variety puts the ground stop in its headline and adds logistical details the others leave out, including the Los Angeles-to-Orlando route, the Nov. 13 date, and that Southwest "brought back" the program. The Hollywood Reporter takes a first-person, insider angle, noting it "had a prime seat" for what it calls a "once-in-a-lifetime event" and listing Simple Plan first rather than Hoobastank.
