Flaming space junk from a Russian satellite narrowly missed hitting a Chilean airliner over the pacific ocean. The pilot of a Lan Chile Airbus A340 en route to New Zealand told air traffic controllers on Wednesday that he had seen pieces of flaming space junk falling about 8 km in the front of the plane and behind it. The aircraft was not struck by any of the debris and later landed safely in Auckland. Airways New Zealand, which manages New Zealand’s air traffic, said it had been warned Russia that an obsolete satellite was due to fall into the Pacific Ocean.
