Commercial aviation is safe. Incredibly safe. The most dangerous thing on your next flight might be sitting in your carry-on bag. Your battery charger. Here's why. The FAA says lithium-ion battery fires on aircraft happen more than you think. 97 reported last year alone. That's nearly two every single week, and twice the number from 2024. Every fire trace back to an Android, iPhone, iPad, laptop, or chargers.
Any fire at 35,000 feet is serious. Southwest Airlines is the first carrier to take real action. In 10 days, every Southwest passenger gets one charger. That's it. And it cannot go ever into check bags, period. Every other airline should be taking their leave right now. Sign up for my free newsletter at GetKim.com.

I am so excited to be a part of this. This is going to be a lot of fun.
So, all right. So, you're the guy who has the dog, Colton, who was chewing on some type of lithium ion device. Do you remember this, Andrew? Oh, yeah.
What recent incident prompted Southwest Airlines to limit chargers on flights?
And then it went on fire? Yes. What was it that Colton was chewing on?
It was a portable cell phone charger, something you'd carry on vacation. You're going to be away from a plug for a while, or you don't have an adapter, and you're taking a lot of photos or videos, and you want to charge your phone. It was just one of those. My wife and I had one each from when we would do traveling, and he loved it. I guess did a little counter surfing. He's a very anxious COVID puppy. He spent the first few years of his life living every day with my wife at home because she was working from home.
How serious are lithium-ion battery fires in commercial aviation?
And then she went back to work. So we were dealing with some anxiety issues.
So now I've seen the video and it's aimed in the middle of your living room. How did you know to check the cameras? Did you see it live or was it later when you saw your rug was on fire?
