"It was some kind of electrical device with a battery attached to withstand wire," he said. "So, my initial instinct was like, what is that, you know, you know, post 9-11 world you gotta wonder."Once crewmembers were able to control the situation, Chierichella went back to his seat. He and several others were taken to an area hospital for evaluation.
Chierichella suffered second degree burns. Fortunately, aside from the minor injuries, the plane landed without incident.Spirit Airlines offered him transpiration and reimbursement for his flight.
