On the way back from flying down to my father's farm last week, I was almost home at 8500' when I suddenly felt like I'd been stung in the butt, but it just kept on burning. It was bad enough that I immediately popped the seat belt and started trying to figure out what was going on, especially after I started smelling an electrical fire! My first thought was "I don't smoke E-cigarettes, but this seems eerily familiar".
Once off the seat, I found the cause...the "Lightning" charge cord for my iPhone 6, which I had used to charge my phone on the way down, was smoking hot! Apparently I was sitting on the edge of the passenger seat belt, and the end of the cord was sandwiched between the buckle and my butt, shorting it out and eventually blowing up the little voltage regulator that's embedded in the iPhone end, after it got hot enough to get my attention!. Something else to worry about... NOT sent from my iPhone! -- Mark Langford ML at N56ML.com http://www.n56ml.com
