Smoke that caused a plane to be evacuated at Louisville International Airport in Kentucky was caused by a Samsung device, a fire official said. Kevin Fletcher told news outlets that the device overheated Wednesday morning and began to smoke, which led Southwest Airlines to evacuate the plane, which had been scheduled to depart for Baltimore. Fletcher said there was minor damage to the plane's carpet where the device was dropped. According to the Verge, the phone’s owner said he used to have a recalled Note 7 and picked up the replacement phone Sept. 21. Samsung said in a statement that it's working with authorities to recover the device and confirm the cause of the fire.
