The worse-case scenario -- an in-flight battery meltdown -- did occur on the ANA aircraft and the safety systems all performed as designed to allow a safe landing and pax to deplane.



The containment is designed to sustain the duration of a battery burn down. It did prevent damage to the surrounding equipment, nothing else caught fire, the smoke was evacuated via the venturi port, and the hull wasn't breached.
