See UPS Flight 6 for a very good reason about why the flight of lithium batteries is regulated

As always, Admiral Cloudberg has a deep-dive into this crash: https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/alone-in-the-inferno-the...

Slightly off topic, but she does an amazing job.

I watched both Mentour Pilot and Green Dot Aviation's videos about it. Mentour Pilot's video terrified me, as it simulated the audio of being inside the cockpit, with GPWS, fire warnings, the sound of the fire all going on at the same time
