Supernova Blast Hits Passenger Jet, Cosmic Ray Mystery Plane Drop
A JetBlue Airbus A320 flight bound for New Jersey experienced a sudden, unexplained drop of thousands of feet, injuring several passengers and prompting experts to consider a cosmic explanation. Scientists suggest that a high-energy cosmic ray, possibly originating from a supernova explosion in a distant galaxy, may have corrupted the aircraft's computer system, leading to the abrupt loss of altitude.
