~9:20 Chicago, ~10:20 New York
Return Rental car, get in a shuttle from Car Rental location to jetBlue's terminal in O'Hare

Finish going through security at O'Hare, get no crap and am allowed to carry on all luggage.
~10:00 Chicago, ~11:00 New York
Set up camp outside jetBlue's boarding station, await a 12:15 flight to JKF
~11:00 Chicago, ~12:00 New York
Announcement: my plane has been damaged (IGLA?) and must land at Pittsburg to repair
~11:45 Chicago, ~12:45 New York
jetBlue estimates that the plane will be at O'Hare and ready to be boarded by 3:45 Chicago, 4:45 New York
~12:30 Chicago, ~1:30 New York
Announcement: My plane will be at O'Hare and ready to be boarded by 9:00 Chicago, 10:00 New York
~2:30 Chicago, ~3:30 New York
My flight was canceled. Epic Fail
~3:00 Chicago, ~4:30 New York

~3:45 Chicago, ~4:45 New York
Get a flight out of O'Hare that boards at 6:00 AM Monday morning, a room at the Wyndham O'Hare hotel and coupon for food up to $12
~4:00 Chicago, ~5:00 New York
Go to Shuttle that will take me to the Wyndham
~4:20 Chicago, ~5:20 New York
Arrive at the Wyndham, get a room
~4:35 Chicago, ~5:35 New York
Get into my room, see an N64 on the TV, try to play it but the Wyndham people are charging $6.50 an hour to play an 11 year old video game console. Once again, Epic Fail
~4:40 Chicago, ~5:40 New York
Watch CattyShack on my DVD player so that the day wouldn't be a total waste. Bill Murry+Rodney Dangerfield=win.
~6:00 Chicago, ~7:00 New York
Go to a McDonnalds a block away from the Wyndham, try the coupons jetBlue gave me. Turns out they are only accepted at the airport. Have to spend my own money. For a third time: Epic Fail.
~6:30 Chicago, ~7:30 New York
Return to Wyndham and watch Men in Black II on TBS as it was to only watchable thing on.
~8:45 Chicago , ~9:45 New York
Go to sleep as I would need to wake up at 3:45 to catch my plane alegedly at 6:00

I arrive at JFK, 18 hours late.
EDIT:
~12:45 Chicago, ~1:45 New York
jetBlue calls; I get a free coupon equal to what was paid for my dead flight. It's just too bad. Next time I will take the train.
On the brightside, on like with my last encounter with air-travel none of my bags were sent to Israel
