Plane crash in Buffalo, NY caused by space junk?
February 15, 2009 | buffalo, New York | Vetting explained
Posted by:
The latest collision of two satellites in our orbit caused thousands of space junk to circle the earth and recently we heard a fireball falling down from the sky in Texas. This fireball was caused by falling space debris from our orbit.
What if this falling debris from space damages a flying aircraft like the plane that crashed in Buffalo, NY?
On Feb 14, the FAA told pilots through its routine notification system that "a potential hazard may occur due to re-entry of satellite debris into the earth's atmosphere." The notice did not specify a time or location.
