New Jersey-bound JetBlue plane that plunged thousands of feet likely hit by 'cosmic rays from another galaxy'

A JetBlue Airbus A320 flight flying from Cancun, Mexico to Newark, New Jersey, suddenly lost altitude by thousands of feet, injuring at least 15 passengers. The incident took place on October 3,0 and now, after a month, a space expert has suggested that a cosmic ray might have caused the disruption. The aircraft dropped down in the air while it was above Florida. The pilots regained control of the plane but had to make an emergency landing at Tampa International Airport as several passengers were injured. Airbus issued a statement attributing the incident to intense solar radiation and grounded 6,000 A320s for software updates. But scientists have now found out that solar radiation levels on October 30 were unremarkable and nowhere near levels that could affect aircraft electronics.
