   A failed rocket launch by SpaceX, Elon Musk's aerospace company, last January   
   endangered several passenger planes, The Wall Street Journal reports. The   
   unmanned rocket exploded during a test flight.   
       
   Documents from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) show that SpaceX   
   did not immediately report the explosion to air traffic control. This   
   endangered three passenger planes over the Caribbean.   
       
   The crew of a JetBlue flight to San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, was   
   reportedly told they could only continue their flight at their own risk.   
       
   Debris flew through the air for nearly an hour, according to the newspaper.   
   Air traffic controllers in Miami only learned of the debris when the pilots   
   told them to navigate through it. At least one of the planes reportedly made   
   an emergency landing in San Juan.   
       
   SpaceX has responded to the article on X. The company calls it a false story   
   and emphasizes that no plane was endangered.
