A woman is suffering from major burns after her headphones caught on fire during a flight from Beijing to Melbourne.
The passenger, who officials didn’t identify, was listening to music and had drifted off about two hours into the flight when she heard a loud explosion. “As I went to turn around I felt a burning on my face,” she said. “I just grabbed my face which caused the headphones to go around my neck.”
The headphones kept sparking, she said.
