Fire in laptop diverts flight
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Authorities say a JetBlue flight from New York to San Francisco landed in Michigan after a lithium battery in a passenger’s laptop apparently started a fire.
No injuries were reported and the plane landed safely about 8:10 p.m. Tuesday at Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids.
Firefighters responded at the airport as a precaution, but the airport said the fire was out by the time the plane landed.
