There is a sci-fi short story whose name escapes me of a spaceship using some new FTL drive, but has largely been untested due to an impending doom. The math is said to be solid, however.

Anyway the drive powers up, and the spaceship jumps, and.... all the crew and passengers are left behind, choking in space.

Sounds like one of the asides from "The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy".
