A simpler, and more likely, explanation for ADS-B blips would be that there weren't any - the aircraft could well have continued to transmit normally, but for some reason those transmissions weren't picked up by FR24's crowd-sourced receivers, possibly due to an unusual aircraft attitude where the transponder antenna was blanked.
