This is an advertorial for AvSax fire containment bags. I don't mind that -- they seem like useful things to have around in general, and especially on an aircraft. However, I do have to wonder why the marketing team chose to promote their product by highlighting a real-life incident in which a fire containment bag would have been no help at all!
- robga 3y agoI thought the point was the post incident phone could have been placed in the bag in case of flare up, rather than require an attendant with an extinguisher?
- gnfargbl 3y agoAs a principle, sure, makes sense. But why choose a specific illustration where > The red phone was hopelessly jammed in the mechanism. and > The phone was eventually removed by the fire service when the plane landed.
- londons_explore 3y agoJust advertising phone fires in general probably gets people to buy these bags...
- londons_explore 3y agoHaving seen a few lithium battery fires, I am very dubious that it would be possible to safely get the phone into the bag while it's burning. The bag is probably a good option for charging a suspect battery inside of, especially when unattended. However, if a battery is already on fire, then a fire extinguisher is clearly the best bet. Only when the fire is out and the battery cold, should the bag be used (in case of re-ignition).
