There are many ways of inflaming passengers on today's claustrophobically cramped airlines.
在现在狭窄无比、容易造成幽闭恐惧症的飞机中，引起乘客愤怒的事情可以说各种各样。
Anna Crail, however, managed it in quite a novel and inadvertent way. She was flying from Bellingham, Washington to Hawaii with Alaska Air on last Thursday.
安娜·克莱尔采取了一种无心却新奇的方式，上周四，她正乘坐从华盛顿贝灵汉飞往夏威夷的阿拉斯加航班。
Suddenly she started to emit flames. Well, her iPhone 6 did. "When it started I thought we were going down, and I was like, 'oh my god, there's a fire on the plane,'" she told KOMO News.
突然间，她身上开始冒烟，好吧，其实是她身上的iPhone 6。她接受KOMO新闻采访时表示："当手机着火后，我觉着我们就要坠机了，你知道，我那时候就在想，天哪，飞机着火了！"
The fire, it seems, came from her own phone. And the plane was 90 minutes from Honolulu, over the Pacific Ocean." All of the sudden there was like 8-inch flames coming out of my phone," she told KOMO. "And I flipped it off onto the ground and it got under someone's seat, and the flames were just getting higher and a bunch of people stood up."
这场火，看起来是从她的手机开始着的。她乘坐的航班航程约为90分钟，需要穿过太平洋。克莱尔告诉KOMO，“突然间，大约八英尺的火焰从我的iPhone里冒了出来，我立马把手机弹到地上，手机滚到某人的座位下，火焰变得越来越大，好多人都站了起来。”
It's not every day you see flames on a plane. Snakes, certainly. But not flames.
在飞机上看到火，可不是常见的事情。蛇你肯定看过，但大火可真不一定。
The Federal Aviation Administration told me that it's investigating the incident. A spokesman added that the Boeing 737 landed safely, with no damage to humans or machine. Other than the iPhone, that is.
美国联邦航空管理局表示现在正在调查该事件。一位发言人称，这架波音737已经安全着陆，没有人员伤亡，也没有设备受损，当然，除了那只iPhone。
Alaska Air and Apple didn't immediately reply to requests for comment.
阿拉斯加航空以及苹果公司对于询问都没有第一时间做出回应。
This isn't even the first time a phone has burst into flames on a flight. Five years ago, a passenger on an Australian flight suddenly noticed his iPhone began to glow and emit smoke.
这其实并不是第一次手机突然在飞机上着火。5年前，澳大利亚航空上的一名乘客突然发现自己的iPhone开始发红发热，并冒起了烟。
Phones do occasionally catch fire, with the causes not always being entirely obvious. Last year, an eighth-grader in Maine suddenly heard a pop from her iPhone and her back pocket began to smoke. Two years ago, a Hong Kong man blamed his Samsung Galaxy S4 for burning his house down.
手机的确时不时地会着火，但是原因却不太清楚。去年缅因州的一名八年级学生，突然听到她的iPhone发出爆裂声，然后她的后兜就开始冒烟。两年前，一位香港男士表示，由于他的三星Galaxy S4着火，他的屋子被烧光了。
Fingers get pointed at overheating batteries and, when a phone blows up while charging overnight, unauthorized chargers.
大家都将原因指向过热的电池，或者说，边充电边接打电话、使用不正规充电器等。
Such incidents are rare. In Crail's case, the fire was quickly put out with the help of the crew. I wonder if anything on Crail's spring break was as exciting as her flight.
这样的事故毕竟很少见，在克莱尔的事件中，通过机组人员的共同努力，火很快就被扑灭了。不过我在想，克莱尔的春假是否会像她乘坐的航班这样刺激。
