Plane suddenly plunged 100ft in 7 seconds, injuring 20. Expert says it was hit by something that traveled millions of light years

Space expert Clive Dyer is challenging what people thought before. He claims the packed JetBlue flight that suddenly dropped 100 feet in just seven seconds was likely hit by cosmic rays from a faraway exploding star. These are high-energy particles that traveled millions of light-years and struck the plane’s computer.

According to The Sun, the sudden drop happened when the jetBlu Airbus A320 was flying from Cancun, Mexico, to Newark, New Jersey. The plane was full of passengers, and the violent drop injured 20 people. Some had bloody head wounds.
