Hi Trevor,
Since the article was written/uploaded today, I'm under the impression that the incident occured yesterday (26th July 2011)

Quote:

The Hong Kong-bound aircraft returned yesterday after the Rolls-Royce engine shut down 20 minutes into the flight "due to surge and high vibrations," said Nicholas Ionides, a spokesman for Singapore Air.
