One relieved passenger said it was lucky the phone didn't catch fire "when we were already on the runway."
“We were just over 100 feet away from the [gate] when the device exploded and smoke began to come out. Fortunately I was in the first row and I opened the emergency door before the pilot activated the chute."
Another passenger, Jordi Vilagut, told a Catalan TV station the incident had caused the aircraft to fill with smoke and some flames.
He said the evacuation had been more like a “stampede” because of the cabin crew rushing to get passengers off the plane as soon as possible.
A picture from one of the passengers of the flight FR7312, from Dublin to Zadar. She cannot fly due her injuries. We are still in the Frankfurt-Hahn. No information, no alternatives, no place to rest.#Ryanair#nightmare@Ryanair pic.twitter.com/zcdNGHS1VF
