Wrong on the type of unit and wrong on the result. Read your own quote. The plane was not "brought down", but the pilots merely experienced some equipment interference.
None of the described interference effects would have been sufficient to bring down the plane, assuming the pilot was minimally competent (maybe that's a bad assumption in these cost cutting days...
)
Further, note that on further testing, both cases cited difficulty in reproducing the problem in the lab or other aircraft, which might indicate poor or deteriorated electrical shielding on the affected aircraft.
