‘Could it be possible that the
government and media are jumping to an embarrassing conclusion,
along with potential racial profiling here? I am an
electrical engineer by profession for over 30 years, and the
description of the explosion sounds just like a faulty battery on a
personal electronic device (PED). If the plane was just starting
it’s descent, it could be he was stowing his device at the time of the
explosion (turning it on/off, cabin pressure fluctuations, etc.), a
more likely time for the battery to explode if it were faulty. These
PED battery explosions are typically “small” and limited in area,
consistent with the reported events.’
