A media crew working for a US cable network had a lucky escape when the battery on their Octocopter caught fire last month at Dubai airport.

The smoking case was pulled out of the baggage bin on the ground by baggage handlers, before it was loaded onto the connecting flight.

Some of the octocopter/drone crews are fairly new to the TV business.
