I flagged this article for clickbait headlines. The article is basically speculation. FTA:
> A short while before the plane’s crash, an automatic alarm also signaled a fault with the plane’s electrical systems. So maybe the iPhone isn’t the culprit here. Maybe the cologne bottles in question caught fire after some sparking took place in the plane’s cockpit, but that’s only our take on the matter.
> Speaking to The Telegraph, air safety expert David Learmount also cast doubt on the theory, saying that the “pilots don’t leave objects on the dashboard because they know they will end up in their lap when they take off or on the floor and they’ll get airborne in turbulence and could jam the controls.” Learmount added that the fires in the toilet and under the cockpit appeared too quickly for them to be blamed on a battery that was in the cockpit.
