Segway Fire at Dulles International Airport

Posting here because a search revealed it hasn't been posted elsewhere. This is a new one on me. At least the TSA didn't make everyone airside be re-screened.

Dulles International Airport passengers preparing for departure were evacuated for roughly 90 minutes after a Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority police scooter burst into flames inside the terminal.A spokesperson for the MWAA said the incident started at around 7:30 p.m. inside a departure terminal. For reasons not yet identified, an officers Segway began to smoke before catching fire, creating a dark cloud inside the airport and injuring two officers.

Whoops.

Anything with batteries presents some danger of fire.
