A United Airlines passenger plane was diverted almost 6000km on Monday following an accident involving a laptop. Pilots deemed it not safe to continue on to Chicago with the passenger’s laptop wedged in the reclining seat. Last year four people were hospitalised after a lithium battery pack overheated and burst into flames on a United Airlines flight from San Diego.
