They consumed the water from their water bottles to start taking the fire out.

The incident resulted in the plane doing an emergency landing in Hangzhou, China.

Investigations about the incident are now being conducted, particularly the airline's management.

Determining fault when a passenger plane catches fire depends on the cause of the fire. Investigations are typically conducted by aviation authorities such as the NTSB in the U.S., CAAP in the Philippines, or other relevant agencies.

The airline may be at fault if improper maintenance, failure to follow safety protocols, or crew negligence contributed to the fire. The aircraft manufacturer could be responsible if a design flaw or manufacturing defect caused the incident.

Airport authorities may also be liable if the fire resulted from improper fueling procedures or ground handling errors. In some cases, passengers could be at fault if the fire was caused by unauthorized or prohibited items brought on board. The final determination of fault comes after a thorough investigation of flight data, maintenance records, and eyewitness accounts.

In a previous report by KAMI, two suspects were arrested in Liloan, Cebu for offering women to drinking men inside a bar. They were caught in an entrapment operation conducted by the National Bureau of Investigation Region VII. One male suspect and another from the LGBTQ community were arrested for offering 5 women to customers in a bar. In a report by TV 5's 'Frontline Tonight,' the suspects were pretending to be customers in a bar, but they were offering the victims to the drinking customers inside.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
