SEATAC, Wash. (AP) — A passenger’s cell phone caught fire after an Alaska Airlines flight landed at the Sea-Tac International Airport Monday evening, forcing the crew to deploy evacuation slides to get everyone on board to safety. A spokesperson for Alaska Airlines says a passenger’s cell phone on flight 751 from New Orleans to Seattle caught on fire. The aircraft crew used a battery containment bag to extinguish the fire. Hazy conditions in the aircraft cabin forced the crew to deploy evacuation slides to get the guests off the plane. A tweet from Sea-Tac Airport said the passengers were transported by bus to the terminal, some with minor injuries.
