Ok so here's the actual reason:
It has nothing to do with the plane, if phones had even a slight chance of making a plane crash they would not allow phones onboard.
It has to do with cell towers, when a phone can't connect it keeps raising the antenna power to increase its range and try to get to a tower this is not a problem on foot as when it does find a tower it is far enough that it works as intended. Now when you are flying a 600mph and you blast a cell tower at maximun power you degrade the signal for everyone else that cellphone tower is connected to.
While I agree there has been a spike in crimes in areas where Venezuelan refugees have gone, saying that the whole country has no culture is very narrow minded.
Oh no!... Anyway...
At this point I think 36% of Americans are just trolling
For whatever is worth, this is my first post ever on the fediverse...
