Reportedly
already happened, but on
UPS cargo plane and other crashes are suspected to be caused form similar Li-Ion battery fires. No one really knows for sure but this is why aviation and dangerous goods carrying Li-ion batteries have come in place.
That said...they are still shipped by air in mobile phones, computers, cameras etc etc.
I can understand why pilots and aviation companies being testy about them.
