In what experts are now calling a “breathtaking demonstration of modern technology’s explosive potential,” an American Airlines flight from Dallas to Orlando was unceremoniously diverted Tuesday after a passenger’s electronic device decided it was time to go out in a literal blaze of glory.
Eyewitnesses report that just 27 minutes into the flight, a sudden “pop” was heard from seat 23B, immediately followed by a small plume of smoke, the faint aroma of toasted lithium, and the passenger frantically fanning their malfunctioning device as if auditioning for “So You Think You Can Extinguish a Fire?”
Cabin crew calmly sprang into action, wielding safety equipment and the sort of disappointment usually reserved for people who bring sushi into a movie theater. The captain promptly informed passengers, “We will be making a brief stop, and for everyone who bet on *Mechanical Failure* in the flight delay pool, please see the attendant to collect your winnings.”
FAA officials estimate that the overheated gadget was likely a tablet binge-watching reruns of “Lost,” which, let’s be honest, sets a terrible precedent for any electronic device hoping to survive a commercial flight. American Airlines has since updated their safety announcements, adding, “Please stow your devices or, if you must use them, please be gentle—and maybe say something nice so they don’t detonate.”
As the flight finally landed safely, passengers were offered water, a heart-stopping close-up view of a fire extinguisher, and an application for the American Airlines Frequent Fryer Miles program. In a statement, the device in question said nothing, since it is now, as the flight attendant concluded, “hot, fried, and grounded.”
Stay safe out there—remember, it’s the *friendly* skies, not the flaming ones.
