Jet upset incident

Just last week there was a strange incident that happened on an Australian Qantas Jet. There was a jet upset. A jet upset is when an aircraft suddenly & unexpectedly lose some altitude. Several passengers were injured. The aircraft was a Airbus A-330 with over 300 passengers on board. The plane was flying from Singapore to Perth when the incident happened. The pilots declared an emergency, & landed safely in Australia. What's interesting about this incident is that aviation authorities seem to think the incident may have been caused by a failure, or glitch of the airplane's computers due to some outside interference with a passenger electronic device such as a cell phone, or blackberry that was left on. Keep in mind when an aircraft is in flight even above 10,000 ft there are still some equipment that you may never used while in flight. That's why its so important to listen to the flight attendants brief.
