iPhone goes up in smoke on flight

Sunday, 29 Nov, 2011 0

Australia’s aviation safety watchdog is investigating after an Apple iPhone apparently began glowing red and emitting smoke after a flight to Sydney.

Australian carrier Regional Express (Rex) said a passenger’s mobile “started emitting a significant amount of dense smoke, accompanied by a red glow” after the plane touched down from the city of Lismore last Friday.

“We are investigating, it’s quite early on in the investigation,” a spokesman for the Australian Transport and Safety Bureau told AFP.

“However, we do have the phone, it’s in our custody, and we will be undertaking a technical examination of it.”
