Air Busan reveals interior of plane after fire

A fire broke out on an Air Busan passenger plane preparing to take off at Gimhae Airport in South Korea, causing passengers to evacuate. Amid interest in the cause of the fire, details of what happened at the time have been made public.
On the 29th, "YTN" released the inside of the passenger plane at the time the fire broke out. In the photos released by the media, red flames can be seen coming from the overhead bin.
This matches the testimony of passengers who said they saw black smoke suddenly emerge from the overhead compartment and then the fire spread.
In the photo, you can faintly make out the letters for seats 29 and 30 on the aircraft.
It has not been confirmed which object among the luggage of the passengers on board the plane started the fire. A passenger on the plane that caught fire at the time told the media, "I was sitting between seats 27 and 28.
"I remember that the fire started in the overhead compartment of the 30th row seats," he said. "The flight attendants tried to put out the fire, but it was not easy to put out."
The possibility of the fire being caused by an auxiliary battery has been raised, as there is a risk of fire if the auxiliary battery that passengers put in their carry-on luggage is subjected to external shock, such as compression.
Air Busan has stated that since the photo only shows a small portion of the building, it is not possible to determine the location of the fire from the photo.
In a post on his social media account, a current captain said, "I don't think the fire started in the aircraft auxiliary power unit (APU)."
"The possible causes of the fire are narrowed down to things like a backup battery or an e-cigarette device left in the cupboard, smoking in the toilet, or an electrical short circuit in the upper cabin."
In order to determine the cause of the fire on the passenger plane, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MOLIT) Aircraft and Railroad Accident Investigation Committee is jointly investigating the cause of the fire with the Busan Fire and Disaster Headquarters.
At around 10:26 pm on the previous day, a fire broke out at the rear of the Air Busan passenger plane as it was preparing to take off from Gimhae Airport, forcing 176 passengers and crew members to evacuate.
Seven people were injured in the process, including three passengers and four crew members.
