At the time of the incident, he was sleeping on the same bed with his wife and their two young children. The source of the explosion was a power bank that had been charging on a table beside their bed.
In the video, burn marks, black stains, and tiny holes left by sparks can be seen on the table's surface. The man pointed out how close the explosion was to the bed, saying, "My house almost caught fire. If it had been any later, it would have reached the bed," clearly still shaken by the event.
He explained that the sparks from the explosion not only damaged the furniture but also grazed his leg, causing a burning sensation. Despite the close call, he expressed immense gratitude that no one in the family, particularly his young children, was hurt.
"This incident was a major wake-up call," he said, emphasizing the importance of being cautious when charging electronic devices during sleep. According to him, the explosion likely happened because the power bank was overcharged, and it had been left plugged in and charging overnight without any supervision.
"In conclusion, just one thing: don't leave it charging overnight," he warned viewers at the end of his video.
The post quickly sparked concern among netizens, with many flooding the comments section to share their fears and personal experiences involving power banks and other battery-powered devices. Several users noted that high-capacity batteries, like those in power banks, are not meant to be charged for extended periods, as they can overheat and potentially become hazardous.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers of leaving electronic devices charging unsupervised and the importance of practicing safe charging habits, especially in homes with young children.
