Yeah, but they were passing over a cruise ship at the time. Unfortunately every 5th Monday of every month on that flight it happens. That particular cruise ship has an ultrastrong transmitter. So combine that with the plane without shielding and it is a disaster waiting to happen.

We mock what we don't understand.
