Excuse me, what did you read?

The flight departed JFK at 8:18 PM (EDT) with 215 passengers and 14 crew en route to Geneva. At about 9:10 PM, cruising at 33,000 feet (about 10,060 m), the flight crew smelled smoke in the cockpit. Fifteen minutes later, the smoke was visible and a number of systems were failing.

That's a liitle different to a single obviously faulty red light, isn't it?
