I was reading some nerdy stuff explaining how throwing water, and even sand, on a lithium fire just accelerates it! People in labs have some kind of special shit they use.
35 people? Probably a few pounds of camera batteries charging side by side on a rusty electrical system in a 40 yr old boat.
Something to think aabout, just ask boeing.

speculation out there pointing finger at cellphone charging station and a battery explosion there seems plausible; so many crappy charger cables/etc available out there that aren't safe/frauds etc that people can unknowingly buy and smartphone batterys are easily the most abused Li ones out there in common use.

So how do you put one out if it catches on fire? And what constitutes abuse?

Maybe so, but the point was, the idea that we're all walking around with things that can randomly catch fire in our pockets, or on our boats, and that if they do catch fire there's not a reasonable way to extinguish them without a special extinguisher, is sobering and deserves attention.
I was on a flight about a year ago and my phone got smoking hot, I was literally barely able to touch it. It was in the seat pocket and I didn't realize it until I smelled something weird. I was able to turn it off and it cooled down but what if it had ignited? Are there Class D extinguishers on planes? I wouldn't have had any idea what to do except call for help from an attendant. Maybe we should do something about this.
But yeah, probably too soon.
