Another day, one other story of a Samsung telephone turning right into a ticking time bomb. On Monday, an Alaska Airlines flight was pressured to evacuate all 129 passengers after touchdown at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport after a type of passenger’s telephones caught ablaze.

According to at least one spokesperson for the airline, crew members aboard Flight 751 from New Orleans observed one thing was amiss when a passenger’s telephone “overheated and began sparking,” whereas ready for a gate on the airport on Monday night time. He went on so as to add that the crew was ready to make use of extinguishers and a fireplace containment bag to cease the telephone from belching out an excessive amount of smoke, however the “hazy” circumstances onboard meant they wanted to get out utilizing the airplane’s inflatable evacuation slides fairly quickly after.

The airport tweeted in regards to the incident saying that passengers solely suffered “minor scrapes and bruises” in the course of the incident.

A spokesperson for the Port of Seattle advised The Seattle Times that the telephone in query—a Samsung Galaxy A21—had been burned “beyond recognition” by the point crew members recovered the machine’s stays. The solely cause they have been ready to determine the mannequin was by way of an interview performed with the telephone’s proprietor after everybody had gotten to security.

This is hardly the primary time Samsung’s needed to cope with telephones spontaneously sparking at inopportune moments. After rolling out its Note 7 smartphone again in 2016, numerous patrons reported their units catching fire whereas linked to a charging port. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission formally recalled 1 million of those smartphones simply months after their stateside debut, and Samsung rapidly pulled the machine from the market quickly after.

That didn’t cease Samsung from being dogged by studies of exploding telephones, although. In 2018, one Long Island lady slapped the corporate with a class-action suit on allegations that her S9 machine exploded in her hand. Since then, tales have come out about newer Samsung units catching fireplace in Detroit and California. Apparently, we will add Seattle to that listing now, too.

Samsung didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark and we’ll replace this publish once we hear again.
