Virgin Airlines Flight 543 (The Instability Theorem)

Virgin Airlines Flight 543 was a regular flight from New York City to Copenhagen. On July 4, 2027; the airplane, a Boeing 787, mysteriously disappeared in the North Atlantic Ocean, about 2 hours after takeoff. The airplane had 193 passengers and 18 staff onboard, all of which were presumed dead after the disappearance.

ATC officers had lost contact with the plane around 12:03 PM UTC, and the aircraft disappeared over the Maury Channel on military radars around 12:21 PM UTC.

Cause of Disappearance
Throughout 2027 and 2028, multiple pieces of debris were found throughout the North Atlantic. At the time, the cause of disappearance was unknown, and it was originally suspected that a hijacking took place. One of the passengers was an Iranian jet engine mechanic, and was originally a suspect. There started to be mounting evidence against him. However, an investigation in 2030 found out that engine failure was the cause of the crash. The main hull of the plane was found on August 6, 2031, after 4 years of searching.

Effects
The airplane had 108 Americans onboard, and as a result of the crash and the Islamic suspect, xenophobia rose across the United States. The Liberty Party (U.S) promised retribution for the families and victims of the crash, and helped propel their popularity.
