Man Catches Fire After Power Bank Explodes in Melbourne Airport Lounge

Imagine a small portable phone charger, called a power bank, that a man was carrying in his pocket at an airport.

Suddenly, it got too hot and exploded, causing him to catch fire!

Luckily, the airport staff were very quick to help him.

They put him in a shower to cool him down and called for paramedics.

Some people had to leave the lounge for a little while because of the smoke.

This event has made airlines think about whether it's safe to allow these power banks on planes, with some already making new rules.

It seems these battery-powered devices can sometimes be dangerous.
