Spirit Airlines has found itself in hot water across social media after one of its planes appeared to fly directly into Hurricane Erin on Monday, when the storm was a powerful Category 4.
According to flight tracking site Flightradar24, Flight NK2298, en route from Philadelphia to San Juan, Puerto Rico, took a course that seemingly sliced through the heart of the hurricane. The platform shared an image of the flight path on X (formerly Twitter), with the caption, 'Did Spirit take up the Hurricane Hunter mission?'
