A passenger’s USB power bank caught fire as a plane taxied towards the runway on a flight from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport to Singapore’s Changi Airport on Tuesday, causing the airplane to return to its gate.<\/p>\n

The fire was significant enough to frighten passengers and fill the cabin with smoke.<\/p>\n
