Anna Crail, a college sophomore, told KOMO News that she was watching a movie on her phone when flames started shooting out of her iPhone 6.
"When it started I thought we were going down," she said. "And I was like, 'oh my God, there's a fire on the plane.'"
The spontaneous explosion occurred above the Pacific Ocean and about 90 minutes before the plane landed, Alaska Airlines spokesperson Halley Knigge told BuzzFeed News.

"Our flight attendants, who are trained for this type of situation, were able to extinguish the fire," said Knigge.
None of the 163 passengers or six crew members were injured.
