Commercial airline flights are in the air across the Caribbean in the region around Puerto Rico, Cuba, and surrounding islands.
An alert comes in at 5:49 p.m. from air traffic controllers that a SpaceX rocket launch, Starship Flight 7, had exploded in that air space.
SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, is a private company specializing in launching spacecraft from Earth into orbit.
Over the years that SpaceX has launched rockets, it has caused danger to the flight paths of commercial airlines.
The explosions have forced planes to make emergency landings to refuel, even having to pass through dangerous debris zones because they don't have enough fuel to remain in the sky.
