…However, the terrifying drop was likely a mishap in the cockpit and not a flaw with the plane itself, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

The report comes days after a packed 787 Dreamliner took a nosedive during a trip from Sydney, Australia to Auckland, New Zealand. Latam Airlines Flight LA800 was about an hour away from its destination Monday when “all of a sudden, the plane just dropped out of the sky,” passenger Brian Jokat told New Zealand news outlet Stuff.

Unnamed U.S. industry officials briefed on a preliminary investigation into the incident told the Journal that a flight attendant serving a meal accidentally bumped a switch on the pilot’s seat, knocking the pilot into the controls and forcing the plane to take a plunge.
