Cabin Safety Thermal Runaway on airplanes

Abstract: 
The proliferation of portable electronic devices that passengers carry aboard airliners would increase the risk of in-flight fires, it was thought, but airline pilots and flight attendants in the United Kingdom since 2003 have been reassured that the extinguishing agents normally aboard their aircraft would be up to this firefighting task. However, recent experience and research seems to indicate that the “all’s well” take of the underlying research report issued by U.K. Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is not entirely justified.
