Zoom screen vanishes…
Trevor: My Zoom link just collapsed mid-sentence.
Xen: Looks like your connection blinked out for a moment. Let’s get you reconnected.
Trevor: Can you tell what it was?
Xen: Hmm. Could be an overload, ISP fluctuation, WiFi interference, cache glitch…
Trevor: Thanks for the quick restart. I’m back online again.
Xen: Glad to hear it. My guess? System overload?
Trevor: Could be. Stuffed up the piping. Like that 747 way back flying through volcanic ash, all four engines sflaming out.
Xen: Good analogy. Then one by one they restarted and the plane made it to Jakarta.

Voice-over
In 1982 Flight BA 009, flying from Kuala Lumpur to Perth, experienced volcanic ash ingestion causing temporary total engine failure. Following successful restarts once the aircraft exited the ash cloud, it landed safely in Jakarta.
