A plane from Australian airline Jetstar that was due to land in Singapore cancelled its landing 150 meters from the ground after a series of events which was kicked off by the captain receiving text messages occurred. Somewhere between an alleged 2500 and 2000 feet from the ground, the captain's phone had started beeping to notify him of incoming text messages but the captain did not heed the co-pilots advise to switch off the phone. The co-pilot reportedly looked over and saw the captain "preoccupied with his mobile phone", investigators said.
