🔥Watch how a power bank exploded in a passenger's luggage at #TallinnAirport! Luckily nobody was injured. That's why these devices must NEVER go in checked baggage - imagine if this happened mid-flight in the cargo hold! #AirportSafety #TravelTips @IATA @flightradar24

CO alarm rules vary by state, so your vacation spot might not be protected. ULSE found 46% of travelers don’t worry about this risk, assuming alarms are installed. Detection is prevention—always travel with a certified portable CO alarm. 🔗 @TODAYshow:
