Cabin Safety: Power Bank Fire 🔥 Ex KLM CEO responsible 🤦🏻♂️
A Former KLM CEO reportedly ignored power bank rules - this was the result.
New video shows the aftermath inside the Business Class cabin of KLM flight KL735, with the window and surrounding seat area visibly scorched after a power bank reportedly exploded and caught fire.
According to reports, the power bank was allegedly being charged when it failed. The device has been linked by multiple sources to former KLM President & CEO Camiel Eurlings, although KLM has not confirmed his involvement.
KLM's own rules prohibit passengers from using or charging power banks during a flight.
Cabin crew quickly intervened and extinguished the fire, but the Boeing 777 was forced to turn around over the Atlantic and return to Amsterdam Schiphol.
If reports that the power bank was being charged are confirmed, this is the result of ignoring a safety instruction that exists for a reason.
