A plane passenger was partially set on fire when his battery phone charger exploded in his pocket, forcing 150 others in the Australian airport lounge to be evacuated, according to reports.

The unidentified 50-year-old passenger was seen in flames as his jacket caught fire early Thursday in the Qantas lounge in Melbourne airport — with quick-thinking staff rushing him to a shower to put it out, the Sydney Morning Herald said.

One traveller said they suddenly “heard screaming from the other side of the lounge” as the terrifying explosion in his pocket “sent the battery acid flying everywhere.”
