Woman’s headphones explode mid-flight
A woman on a flight from Beijing to Melbourne was listening to music when her headphones exploded, the BBC reported.
“I just grabbed my face which caused the headphones to go around my neck. I continued to feel burning so I grabbed them off and threw them on the floor,” she told the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB).
The woman’s face was blackened and she was left with blisters on her hands.
Members of the flight crew poured a bucket of water on the headphones as they began to melt.
According to the ATSB report, passengers had to endure the smell of burnt hair and plastic for the remainder of the flight.
