An airline passenger woke up to a loud explosion mid-flight from Beijing to Melbourne last month. The woman quickly realized her battery-operated headphones had caught fire after falling asleep two hours into the flight. “As I went to turn around I felt burning on my face. I just grabbed my face, which caused the headphones to go around my neck.” The passenger managed to remove the headphones, which burned her hair and face. Flight attendants reportedly poured water on the headphones but the battery and cover melted into the floor of the aircraft.
