Interesting...

Singapore Airlines has some of the best maintenance in the industry.

Airbus software problems again?

Strangely (to me at least) the plane continued on to Shanghai rather than heading to the nearest airport. I saw on another site that it was back in the air four hours later!

or someone playing around with neutron type software

NO ONE wants to play neutron bomb .. it could backfire on the deliverer ... but a temporary blackout .. fixable with the reverse of the same switch ?

Worth gazillions ... if perfected.

Yes, but how are their seat cleaning people?

Do the pilots have to manually switch fuel tanks on Airbus, or does the software do it for them? This has the smell of fuel starvation about it, especially with the report that the airplane was flying again four hours later.
