The video shows that the cabin of the plane is shrouded in smoke, and there are flight attendants in a seat, which is suspected to be being disposed of at the fire. In another photo taken by netizens, it can be seen that the inner wall of a window in the cabin has been burned and the cabin wall has been blackened.

  According to the flight information, flight MU2809 of China Eastern Airlines took off from Nanjing Lukou International Airport at 7: 16 a.m. It was originally scheduled to arrive at Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport two hours later, but it returned to Nanjing Lukou International Airport at 8: 24.

  After the incident, China Eastern Airlines released a message saying that during the cruise of the flight from Nanjing to Xiamen on September 4, there was a passenger’s charging treasure in the cabin, and the crew handled it properly according to the procedure at the first time, quickly eliminating safety risks. In order to ensure maximum safety, the crew decided to return to Nanjing. The company has actively done a good job in ensuring passenger service, arranged flights as soon as possible, and assisted the police in investigating the cause of the incident.

  According to the relevant staff of China Eastern Airlines, when the incident occurred, the charging treasure that caught fire and spontaneously ignited was not in a charging state.

  It is reported that the flight took off again at Nanjing Lukou International Airport at 11: 20 am on the 4th and landed safely at Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport at 12: 55.

  What are the specific regulations of airlines?

  According to ICAO’s Technical Rules for Safe Air Transport of Dangerous Goods and China’s Regulations on the Administration of Civil Aviation Transport of Dangerous Goods, passengers should abide by the following provisions when carrying charging treasure: charging treasure must be carried by passengers for their own use, and charging treasure can only be carried in hand luggage or carried with them, and it is strictly prohibited to carry it in checked baggage. The rated energy of the charging treasure carried by passengers does not exceed 100Wh (watt hour, 100Wh equals 20,000 mA), without the approval of airlines; The rated energy exceeds 100Wh but not more than 160Wh, which can only be carried with the approval of the airline, but each passenger is not allowed to carry more than two charging treasures. It is strictly forbidden to carry charging treasures with rated energy exceeding 160Wh; It is strictly forbidden to carry charging treasures that are not marked with rated energy and fail to calculate the rated energy through other marked parameters. Passengers are not allowed to use the charging treasure to charge electronic equipment during the flight. For the charging treasure with the start switch, always turn off the charging treasure during the flight.

  According to the safety officer of an airline in China, it is forbidden to use the charging treasure to charge the mobile phone during the whole flight. If the passenger insists on using the charging treasure and the warning from the safety officer is invalid, the safety officer will take compulsory measures to stop the passenger from using the charging treasure and notify the public security organ to deal with it.

  survey

  The quality is mixed

  The quality of Shanzhai charging treasure is difficult to guarantee.

  Previously, the Beijing Youth Daily reporter had found that the prices of charging treasures in the market were different, ranging from a dozen yuan to hundreds of yuan. On the online shopping platform, shanzhai and Sanwu charging treasures have sold more than regular manufacturers’ products because of their low prices. The reporter of Beiqing Daily found that the electronic circuit boards of Shanzhai and Sanwu products were simple, the workmanship was rough, and even the "cement battery" was used to charge them, and the parts were shoddy and the liquid in the battery leaked.

  The charging treasure produced by regular manufacturers is difficult to disassemble, and the disassembled electronic circuit board is relatively complicated. The components and batteries used are marked with serial numbers, and each component is wrapped with flame retardant materials.

  It is reported that in 2015, Jiangxi destroyed a fake charging treasure den, and the seized cottage charging treasure contained six batteries, four of which were fakes filled with cement.

  Relevant persons engaged in lithium battery research said that most of the circuit boards of brand charging treasures currently on the market have devices such as overcharge protection and overdischarge protection. In order to save costs, most of the batteries are made by small workshops, and the electronic circuit boards are connected by themselves. The safety cannot be guaranteed and it is very easy to cause fires.

  Charging treasure happens many times.

  Smoke or fire incident

  It is reported that in February 2017, on the Spring Airlines flight from Harbin to Nagoya, a charging treasure carried by a passenger suddenly spontaneously ignited and caught fire, and the flight was diverted to Shenyang Taoxian Airport, causing no injuries.

  In July 2017, during the taxiing process of China Southern Airlines flight from Beijing to Hangzhou, a passenger’s charging treasure spontaneously ignited, resulting in a flight delay of two hours. After on-site inspection by the security department, the passengers on this flight passed the security inspection, and the output voltage of the charging treasure they carried was 5V, and the calculated rated energy was 50Wh, which was clearly marked and met the civil aviation transportation standards.

  In February 2018, on flight CZ3539 from Guangzhou to Shanghai, the charging treasure carried by passengers on the luggage rack caught fire when passengers were boarding. At that time, after the crew cooperated with the fire and public security departments to deal with it in time, no further damage was caused. The flight was changed and the crew was executed, and the passengers involved were taken away by the police for investigation.

  In August, 2018, during the security check at Zhengzhou Airport, the passenger Kong Mou was told by the security inspector that the charging treasure he was carrying did not meet the relevant regulations and could not be carried. In a rage, Kong Mou smashed the charging treasure on the floor, causing the charging treasure to spontaneously ignite, causing smoke at the scene, which was promptly disposed of by Zhengzhou airport scanner without causing personal injury. Subsequently, Kong was placed in administrative detention.

  In July 2019, Chiang Mai Airport in Thailand released a video of the charging treasure in the passenger bag catching fire inexplicably. As can be seen in the video, a passenger’s backpack suddenly caught fire, and the passenger immediately threw it out, only to find out afterwards that it was the charging treasure in the bag. Fire.
