1. Background and Cases Accidental cases UPS airplane accident (Boeing 747-44AF) Date : September 3 rd, 2010 Location : Dubai International Airport Cologne Bonn Airport Details : Explosion during flight after 50 minutes from take-off All crews deceased. Note : Unreported lithium battery loaded at Dubai. Fire started during take-off. Cause : UAE Civil Aerial Organization announced the cause to be fire from Lithium ion battery.
1. Background and Cases Accidental cases Asiana airlines accident Date : July 28 th, 2011 Location : Inchon international airport Pudong International Airport Details : Received fire detection after 50 minutes from take-off. No contact after 1 hour from take-off. All crews deceased. Note : Includes lithium ion battery, paint, amino acid, 400 kg of synthetic resin. Cause : Physical evidence of fire was unidentified, but it started from or near the pallet containing dangerous goods. Fire spread too fast to suppress, partial fuselage disintegrated and the aircraft fell. <Source : Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport>
1. Background and Cases Risk of Li-ion ion battery Li-ion battery Highly reactive metals Explosion risk Due to melting point of approx. 180, possible melting after extinguished. Heat from spontaneous ignition of one battery may cause series of ignition of nearby batteries. Transportation through aircraft may cause serious safety issues. Must be verified prior to air transportation
