An EasyJet flight was evacuated due to an explosion caused by a passenger's bag of vapes.

The passengers on board the EasyJet flight were suddenly met with chaos and confusion when a bag of vapes exploded mid-flight. With 236 passengers on board, the London Gatwick-bound flight made an emergency landing on the runway in Herklion, Greece. As the aircraft came to a stop, the passengers were quickly evacuated due to the popping noises and smoke that filled the cabin.

Eyewitnesses described the terrifying scene as a "very large red flash and flame" followed by "thick black smoke". The panic was evident as people were shouting and scrambling to get off the plane. One passenger even recalled hearing others yell out "bomb" as they rushed towards the emergency exits. It was later revealed that a woman had a vape in her bag, which had caught fire and was now causing chaos on the flight.

Amidst the commotion, the woman with the bag tried to make a quick exit, but as she did, the bag caught fire and she dropped it in the aisle. The smoke was becoming more intense and passengers were struggling to find their seats amidst the chaos. Witnesses reported seeing "fire and acrid smoke" billowing from the bag, causing loud popping noises. It was later determined that a power bank and several e-cigarettes inside the bag were the cause of the explosion.

The situation was quickly brought under control as the passengers were evacuated using the emergency slides. Thankfully, only one person sustained a minor injury during the evacuation. In a statement, EasyJet confirmed that the flight had been evacuated due to a fire in a passenger's cabin bag. The fire department responded to the scene and the crew successfully evacuated all passengers according to safety procedures.

Currently, the passengers are being taken care of in the terminal and a replacement aircraft and crew have been arranged to fly them home later today. EasyJet emphasized that the safety of their passengers is their top priority and they will continue to take all necessary precautions to ensure a safe journey. As for the cause of the explosion, officials believe it was due to the power bank and e-cigarettes inside the passenger's bag.

In the end, the incident may have caused some panic and chaos, but it also demonstrated the quick and efficient response of the crew and emergency services. Passengers can rest assured that their safety is always the top priority for airlines like EasyJet.
