“Flight attendants worked quickly to extinguish a probably burning personal battery belonging to a customer while pilots followed procedures to safely divert the flight,” a spokesperson told USA Today.
The plane was abruptly landed at Southwest Florida International Airport where first responders were waiting to make sure everyone was safe.
One passenger filmed a now-viral video showing firefighters in full suits walking down the aisles as flyers remained in their seats.
