iPhone bursts into flames on flight, owner thought plane would crash

She was flying from Bellingham, Washington to Hawaii with Alaska Air on Thursday. It‘s spring break, don‘t you know.

Suddenly she started to emit flames. Well, her iPhone 6 did. „When it started I thought we were going down, and I was like, ‚oh my god, there‘s a fire on the plane,'“ she told KOMO News. The fire, it seems, came from her own phone. And the plane was 90 minutes from Honolulu, over the Pacific Ocean.
