You can learn more about carrying e-cigarettes on a plane in our article on the subject, but in short, it is absolutely allowed. The device should be placed in your hand luggage, because it should not be in your checked luggage – like other electronic devices with batteries. And one of the passengers on the flight from Heraklion, Greece, to London decided to take advantage of this opportunitybut as it turns out, it wasn’t the best idea, because the device failed.
An EasyJet plane was preparing to take off from the airport when a bag containing e-cigarettes and a power bank suddenly exploded.. One of the passengers on flight EZY8261, Malachi Griffith, reported hearing “hissing sounds” and then noticed a girl running down the aisle with a bag of smoke coming out of it.
As a result, they are concerned passengers (236 people on board) were evacuated using emergency slidesand videos documenting the event can be viewed online. An EasyJet spokesman confirmed to Fox News Digital that the reason for the evacuation was “a fire in a passenger’s bag,” which caused smoke on board.
The cause of the fire is still unknown, but the situation was quickly brought under control, Shortly afterwards, passengers were allowed to board the plane again to collect their belongings. (Some claimed in a statement to the Daily Mail that there was a visible burn mark on the floor.) None of the passengers were injured or suffered any serious injuries, although there are reports of minor abrasions from the slide.
