⚡️🔥✈️ NEW - Power bank bursts into flames mid-flight

A power bank caught fire mid-air on a China-based Airbus A321 flying from Hangzhou to Seoul. The blaze started in an overhead bin at an altitude of 10 km, quickly filling the cabin with smoke.

The crew requested an emergency landing in Shanghai Pudong, but flight attendants managed to extinguish the flames before touchdown. No injuries were reported.

Power banks, like all lithium-ion devices, can experience thermal runaway — a chain reaction caused by overheating, damage, or a short circuit that makes the battery rapidly heat up, catch fire, and release toxic gases.
