Reports say the SQ37 from Los Angeles sent out a transformer code, which indicates a possibility that the aircraft was being hijacked. However, later on, it was discovered that it was an error made by the pilots.
Rumours have it that the switches can be confusing, and if the pilots are in a rush, they might press the wrong button. It was joked by Twitter users that the pilots would have to answer for their mistake in Singapore and they might receive 10 lashes. This is a play on how strict Singapore is.
Another user shared their concern saying that a glitch like this happening within or near the United States may risk the aircraft being shot down. Others further joked saying that the pilots wanted to quickly turn off the seatbelt sign but instead turned on a distress signal.
