A flight is using a very narrow path, the rocket debris is "claiming" a huge unavoidable areas over probably a relatively long period of time.

I wonder what the math is on the plane actually getting hit if it took it's normal route.

Something with a lot of significant decimal places that are mostly zeroes.

Unfortunately "got hit by space debris in designated NOTAM area" looks bad in headlines.
