Billionaire, 70, Expecting Second Child With Fiancée, 37
Even as headlines spotlight a billionaire, 70, expecting a second child, the day’s aviation incident centers on a cellphone fire aboard British Airways Flight 271. The London-to-Las Vegas flight landed safely at Harry Reid International Airport after the crew reported the fire to the FAA. The pilot could be heard saying the phone fire scorched the inside of the cabin, but officials said the blaze was under control and no emergency was declared. The FAA will investigate the cause of the phone fire, and passengers disembarked without incident. The agency notes lithium ion batteries pose overheating risks, advising devices remain in carry-on bags rather than checked luggage. FAA data show nearly 100 battery fire incidents on planes in 2025, underscoring ongoing safety concerns around portable electronics in flight.
