 Air China plane catches fire mid-flight, lands safely in an emergency

An Air China flight headed to Seoul was forced to make an emergency landing on Saturday after a fire broke out in an overhead bin, causing panic among passengers. The plane, carrying 160 people including crew, had departed from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport around 9:50 a.m. when a lithium battery in a passenger’s carry-on bag ignited.

Authorities have not determined what triggered the battery to catch fire. Lithium batteries, commonly used in phones, laptops, and chargers, have been banned from certain flights in China due to fire risks, and millions have been recalled globally over the years for safety concerns.
