Chaos ensued on a Thai AirAsia flight after a passenger’s power bank exploded and caught fire, prompting the crew to extinguish it swiftly.
Thai AirAsia’s flight FD 3188 is a daily domestic service between Bangkok’s Don Mueang International Airport (DMK) and Nakhon Si Thammarat (NST) in southern Thailand. On February 24, the flight departed Don Mueang on time for its regularly scheduled one-hour flight. The aircraft operating was an Airbus A320-200 registered HS-ABX with 186 passengers onboard.
About 30 minutes after the flight from Don Mueang took off, smoke emanated from row 15. It was soon discovered that this smoke was coming from a portable power bank that had suddenly ignited. The smoke caused the flight attendants to promptly grab one of the onboard fire extinguishers and put an end to the sudden fire.
