What: Fed Ex/Morningstar Boeing 737-200 en route from Winnipeg to Calgary
Where: Winnipeg
When: May 3rd 2011
Why: The plane was on the runway when the pilot received an indication of fire. The fire indication would not shut down, even after the plane stopped. Emergency services responded. The plane was “rebooted” and the indication shut down.

(Just like my kitchen alarm that goes off whenever I cook, regardless of whether something is burning or not. I promise it wasn’t me. I promise I wasn’t cooking in the non-existent galley.)
