    > The F.A.A. has verified 58 incidents in which a lithium battery led to smoke, fire or extreme heat on passenger or cargo flights as of mid-August. The majority of cases have involved battery packs, and a handful led to the flight being diverted from its intended destination.

    Nightmare stuff.
