A teenager has told of passengers' panic after her iphone 6 suddenly bursts into flames during a 10-hour flight.
Anna Crail, 19, says she believed the plane was 'going down' after 'eight-inch' flames started shooting out of the device.
As she dropped the blazing phone on the floor in horror, other passengers scrambled into the aisles, fearing for their lives.
Luckily, flight attendants quickly extinguished the fire, which took hold as the Alaska Airline aircraft was tens of thousands of feet above the ocean.
It touched down 90 minutes later.

On Friday night, Anna took to Twitter to express her shock over the incident, writing that her life had 'flashed before her eyes'.

She wrote: "Legit saw my life flash before my eyes tonight when my phone burst into flames midflight and caught the plane on fire."

On the day of the terrifying incident, Anna had been flying from Bellingham to Honolulu, where she is spending spring break.

The college sophomore was watching a movie on the plane when her iPhone suddenly exploded into flames in front of her eyes.

It is unclear whether she had set up the film on her personal device, or was watching it on the plane's in-flight entertainment system.

As the flames shot into the air, Anna dropped the phone beneath her seat, where it attracted the attention of surrounding passengers.
"When it started I thought we were going down, and I was like, 'oh my god, there's a fire on the plane,'" Anna told KOMO News just hours after the incident.
"All of the sudden there was like 8-inch flames coming out of my phone.

"And I flipped it off onto the ground and it got under someone's seat, and the flames were just getting higher and a bunch of people stood up."
As panic spread through the aircraft, the flight crew successfully managed to put out the fire, leaving the phone severely burned.
