On February 19, a young woman saw her headset catch fire while on a flight from Beijing to Melbourne.
The lithium-ion battery would be the cause of the incident, concluded the Australian Transportation Safety Agency (ATSB). The passenger had the face and hair burned after the explosion. "I wanted to turn around and felt my face burning," she explained at her audition.
"I grabbed my face, which caused the helmet to be around my neck. It was still burning, so I took them and threw them on the ground. There were sparks and small flames, "she added. To overcome the remaining fire, the ship's staff threw a bucket of water on the helmet. The battery which had spread over the floor of the cabin remained stuck there.
More and more devices are now incorporating batteries. In addition to smartphones, tablets and computers, it is now also necessary to count on connected bracelets, electronic cigarettes, headphones and earphones. For these, it is the wireless and noise-free features that require a battery. The helmet model here is not known, but it will not be advisable to pay attention to devices that do not comply with European standards and therefore purchased outside this area.
