I heard a JetBlue crew lost 12,000 feet before they recovered it. Apparently, a solar flare caused bit switching in the onboard software. They’re saying it’s an easy software downgrade. American had 340 aircraft effected, but already applied the fix.

Solar Flares are a threat very few people think about
imagine if we got another one like in 1859

I never heard of him either, but him, his wife, and two kids were killed. Very tragic.
