Technology is giving people reason to less desire it. The issue of exploding batteries, iPhones, Laptops on an aircraft and also on normal atmosphere is getting messier day after day. Exploded headphone is the most recent as it has played out dramatically with a woman suffering facial injuries when her headphones exploded on a flight from Beijing to Melbourne.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has revealed that the passenger was listening to music with her battery-powered headphones when the explosion took place on the flight on February 19. It occurred about two hours into the flight while the woman was sleeping. “As I went to turn around I felt burning on my face,” she said in a statement provided by the bureau.

“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. They were sparking and had small amounts of fire.” She said aircraft staff reacted quickly to the incident. “As I went to stamp my foot on them the flight attendants were already there with a bucket of water to pour on them.

“People were coughing and choking the entire way home,” the passenger said. The bureau said it had assessed that the batteries in the device likely caught on fire. It said batteries should be kept in stowage unless in use, and must be in carry-on baggage, not checked baggage.

Be careful with your tech gadgets, they are not as safe as you think. Moreover, for Gods sake, keep your tech gadget a distance from you while sleeping.
