The news tried to cover up that it was indeed the SQ cargo plane that was the terror culprit which did it.

Cargo plane veers off runway at airport, several flights diverted

SINGAPORE - A number of flights arriving at Changi Airport yesterday had to be diverted elsewhere, after a cargo plane veered off a runway, leading to a temporary closure of the runway.
The incident occurred yesterday afternoon, and the runway was shut down for inspection at 4.40pm.
"The aircraft was able to taxi on its own to the parking bay. No injuries nor damage to the aircraft was reported," said a Changi airport spokesman in a statement.
The affected runway reopened at about 6pm.
Flights that were affected included SQ232 flying in from Sydney and SQ863 arriving from Hong Kong. Some flights opted to be diverted to the Paya Lebar Air Base. Other planes opted to land in Johor and Kuala Lumpur.
Passengers on SQ232 were among those stuck at the Paya Lebar Air Base.
One of the passengers, Ms Yu Pei Sheun, said the plane was supposed to have landed at Changi Airport at 5.20pm, but the pilot then informed them of the closed runway, and that they had to fly to Paya Lebar.
Ms Yu, 22, said the passengers were updated about three times: "The pilot explained that there was much congestion due to the closed runway. When it finally opened, he updated us that we had to wait more than 30 minutes for the plane to re-fuel," she said.
"There was no entertainment, and I got very frustrated as I had to miss my appointment at 7. Some transit passengers might also have missed their connections," she added.
Her plane touched down at Changi Airport at about 9pm. Tan Weizhen
