On May 21, 2026 in the Russian city of Surgut, a woman experienced a moment of panic in an elevator when her power bank, which was in her bag, suddenly caught fire. The scene, captured by the elevator's security camera, shows smoke and then flames erupting from the bag seconds after the doors close. Panicked, the young woman quickly threw the bag on the floor before she managed to get out of the elevator as soon as the doors opened. Fortunately, not injured. Authorities are reminding the public that defective or poor quality lithium batteries can overheat and catch fire suddenly.
