Passengers on a commercial flight bound for the United Kingdom were recently forced to evacuate the aircraft using emergency slides after a vape reportedly exploded inside a carry-on bag on board.
Video provided by Malachi Griffith shows the horrifying moment smoke filled the cabin of an easyJet flight, and passengers on board at an international airport in Greece scrambled to deplane.
