The Life of Rav Elyashiv (video)
Avishai Ben-Chaim of Channel 10 ran a special report on Rav Elyashiv on last night's news to describe what Rav Elyashiv means to the public.
The report shows images of Rav Elyashiv in different settings; learning, answering questions, riding through the small alleyways near his house in his golf cart and giving blessings. The question asked at about 2 minutes in is an interesting question - unfortunately they didn't show him answering it.
If you are talking about the davening question, it also relates to the international dateline question. I don't know what Rav Elyashiv answered, but according to the Star-K guidelines for travelers, "Halachos relating specifically to the time of day are not affected by crossing the Dateline. For example, if one davens Shacharis on Monday morning on a plane flying westbound, and crosses the Dateline "into" Tuesday morning, one does not daven Shacharis again"
