A passenger's e-cigarette battery overheated and exploded, causing a fire to break out on an American Airlines flight on Friday night.
Confirmed by the airline, crew aboard Flight 168 from Las Vegas to Chicago's O'Hare International Airport were forced to stamp out the small blaze in the plane's cabin on December 4.
None of the 144 passengers and crew on board the vessel were injured and plane safely taxied to the gate.
E-cigarettes have been strictly prohibited by the US Transportation Department in checked luggage, because of their potential to suddenly catch fire.

Passengers are permitted to carry them in their hand-luggage, but they cannot be used during the flight.
'We are thankful for our flight attendants who quickly put their training to use to keep our passengers safe', American Airlines spokeswoman Leslie Scott said in an statement
E-cigarettes are forbidden to be carried in checked bagged in the US, but passengers are aloud to have them in their hand-luggage, so long as they aren't used in-flight
In July, a co-pilot of an Air China flight caused a plane to plummet nearly 20,000 ft after smoking an e-cigarette in the cockpit and accidentally switching off the air-conditioning system.'
According to the airline he had allegedly been trying to turn off air recycling fans to prevent the vapor from spreading into the passenger cabin.
A few months later in October, a Paris-bound Pegasuses Airline flight was forced to make an emergency landing in Croatia, after a passenger's e-cigarette suddenly burst into flames and caused smoke alarms in the cabin to go off.
Though it's considered rare for a vape pen or e-cigarette to catch fire, a recent report by Consumer Affairs suggests that federal and aviation agencies may be underestimating the number of burns, injuries, and explosions created by e-cigarette technology.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
