Smartphones catching fire isn’t shocking anymore as we have all heard of such stories many times in the past. Something similar has now happened again, but this time, mid-air. Yes, a passenger’s mobile phone on an IndiGo flight from Dibrugarh to Delhi caught fire on April 14. Here’s what happened.
It is reported that during the Assam-Delhi IndiGo flight 6E 2037, a cabin crew noticed sparks and smoke from a passenger’s phone and immediately contained the situation by putting out the fire with an on-flight extinguisher. Luckily, no one on the flight was harmed due to this incident and the flight even landed in Delhi on time.
