A Pair Of Headphones Caught Fire On A Woman's Head As She Slept During A Flight | Digital Trends Not clear which brand was affected - batteries can cause fires as we all know.

rodrigaj Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 The article mentioned that the flight attendant poured a bucket of water on the burning headphones. That was probably expedient but could have caused more problems. Lithium batteries are not safe when mixed with water.

Solstice380 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I saw that this morning. Another exploding hover board scenario. Also, a young girl was just killed in a house fire caused by a hover board battery. Remember that Lithium is one up in the periodic table Alkalis from Sodium, and pure Sodium metal burns (oxidizes) violently in water! I know that one from fun in High School chemistry.

dalethorn Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I'm puzzled - the media who can tell us so many national security secrets can't tell us which brand exploded? Really? Link to comment

Really? Not puzzling at all. Many countries have defamation laws that are less media-friendly than the USA, and defending a libel suit can be prohibitively expensive for small media players. Office: MacBook Pro - Audirvana Plus - Resonessence Concero - Cavailli Liquid Carbon - Sennheiser HD 800. Travel/Portable: iPhone 7 or iPad Pro - AudioQuest Dragonfly Red - Audeze SINE or Noble Savant Link to comment

But where are the leaks? How can this be a secret? Link to comment
