Cabin Fills With Smoke in Seconds: "We Have to Stop It From Taking Off!" Amid Chaos

On the morning of July 21 around 8:00 AM, a sudden fire broke out aboard a passenger plane departing from Incheon International Airport and heading for Boracay, Philippines.

The cabin was filled with smoke in an instant, leaving passengers gripped with anxiety, but thanks to the prompt response of passengers and crew, the fire was extinguished in about five minutes.

Upon investigation, the cause of the fire was found to be an overheating auxiliary battery carried by a passenger.
