No, the plane didn't do anything to the phone.
Did the battery die? Did you stick the phone on a charger after it turned off?
Best guess is that it's overheated to the thermal shutdown limit.
Leave it a while then try powering it back on

na, when you hit the safety shutdown temp, all it does is shut down, you can boot it right after. ive reached it many times(on purpose), it works.
what the op is describing sounds like the rlod on the nexus 4(red light of death). it happens when the phone thinks it went below 0%. on the n4 there are two solutions, one works sometimes, the other all the time. the one that works sometimes is leave it on the charger for several hours, then try to boot into the bootloader, then shut off the phone from there and keep charging. the method that works 100% is to remove the back cover, disconnect the battery, then reconnect it. this is a hard reset for the battery, and works 100% of the time on the nexus 4.

if it was something that happened on its own(without you tinkering with your phone), then yes.

You may want to give this procedure a try, its copied directly from Google's product support page for the Nexus 7.
Make sure there isn’t any dust or lint in the power port.
Using the original power adapter and USB cable, plug your Nexus 7 into a functioning power outlet. Nexus 7 has specific power requirements, and the USB cable and power adapter that are included are designed to meet those requirements.
Ensure the power cord is securely connected to the tablet and the power adapter.
After 1 minute, check to see if a battery icon appears on the screen.
If the battery icon appears, press & hold the Power button for 15 to 30 seconds to see if the device turns on.
If the battery icon doesn't appear, try accessing the Android bootloader menu:
Press & hold the Volume down button. While holding Volume down, press & hold the Power button for at least 10 seconds until you see an Android robot and the word Start on the screen.
Press the Volume down button until Power off is highlighted. Press the Power button to select that option.
Disconnect the charger and reconnect it within 10 seconds. A battery icon should appear on your screen.
Once the battery icon appears on the screen, allow your tablet to charge for at least 1 hour before turning it back on.

I got a new one thanks for all your help
I just had a red blinking light and no charge indicator situation, as well. Nothing seemed to work: plugged it in for 20 minutes, unplugged it for 20 minutes, plugged it back in...and after another hour on the charger I finally noticed the blinking red light had gone away, and hitting power brought up the charging indicator as normal. Booted right up and has been fine since.
My Nexus 5 just started doing this. I was in the middle of playing a game while my phone was on the charger (Brave Frontier) and suddenly the screen went dead and I had the red flashing light. I'm guessing I was using the juice faster than the charger could fill it so I killed it. I couldn't get the battery indicator to come back but as I was typing this the red light finally stopped flashing and the phone rebooted.
This happened to my N5 today. I was on a Hangouts video chat while plugged in from wall charger and I noticed the battery was actually draining rather than charging. So I figured hangouts was discharging the battery faster than the charging. Eventually it went to 0% and stayed that way for a while and suddenly the screen went off and the LED started blinking red. Followed the steps posted here, plugged in, left for a while and the blinking stops and phone boots up.
Never Hangout-ing with low charge ever! D:
My Nexus 5 won't power on or show a charge light... I had it on a wireless nexus charger last night today it is dead. I plugged it into the original charger no luck, I plugged it into my computer with a different cable no luck. Anything else I should try?
get anything if you hold down the power button for 10 seconds (plugged in and unplugged)? can you boot to the bootloader (for fastboot)? sounds like the battery is dead to me. my nexus 7 did that. had to use the original charger and plug it in for over an hour before it would give me any signs of life. perhaps your wireless charger failed you or the device was shifted off the coils.

@ OP and others having that problem.
I had the same with my N5 after flashing a custom ROM. N5 didn't wanted to boot.
But, when holdin both volume buttons and power button for more then 60 - 90 seconds, it powered my N5 on.
After powering it off - it still didn't wanted to boot, until I flashed over the factory image.
So - if you have problem with starting / booting the device, it might take all 3 buttons and holding them all for more then 60 seconds."
so holding down all three buttons for more than 60 seconds worked
I recently received a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
I charged it, powered on, played with it a minute with no trouble and a full charge and out of no where it went black screen, no signs of life.
I have tried
Charging it and leaving it alone (no charge indicator)
Holding power for 10 (nothing)
Holding power + up volume for 15 seconds (nope)
Disconnecting the battery (same ****)
Throughout this all I have been able to get is OMAP4430 to flash on my devices listed on my comp if I hold down power for 10 seconds while plugged in.
The charger base I am using now came with the device, the one I was using at first did not.
What now?!?!!?

Im getting this problem with my Xoom (Everest/Xoom 3G), it wont power up unless it is plugged up to the power cable.
Once its booted up it wakes from sleep with out the power cable fine, but just that it wont startup from cold boot.
It has a CM11 4.4.4 rom, with twrp and rooted.
Ive opened it up and disconnected/reconnected everything such as battery, power button etc. Ive put a volt meter on the battery and get about 8volts.
I have tried to hold down the power button for 30secs+, even using combinations with the volume buttons, but wont come to life unless i plug in the power cable.
The tablet works fine and battery life is decent for its age, gets about 3-4hours+ screen on time.
Anyone have any idears on how to fix this?
I just replaced the battery as well as both the fingerprint reader and the charging port board. Of course many potential problems with a tripple-fix like that but I actually think I got it right!
Now it appears as the new battery is fully drained and I can't get the phone to boot – not even into Recovery. It doesn't seem to take any charge either.
The bootloader is unlocked and rooted (Magisk) and has TWRP and Lineage 17.1 installed.
When connected to charger, red LED starts blinking but the screen stays black.
After 45 seconds the LED turns off.
Intermittently starts blinking again.
Restarting with VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON doesn't work
It does vibrate after 12-15 seconds but then nothing.
VOL DOWN -> adding POWER BUTTON, then releasing POWER at vibration doesn’t work either.
Resetting battery calibration according to htc-instructions didn't do anything either
VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER for up to 2 minutes

Had it connected to charger for several hours without any result
Had it connected to USB 2.0-port on computer for several hours without any result
Read somewhere that a drained battery might have a hard time receiving the high current from a charger but could work with the relatively weak charging from a USB 2.0-port. (couldn’t find the source right now..)
Wondering whether the battery has been put into "sleep mode" by its protective circuit built due to too low voltage, as described in this thread:
SOLVED: Device will not power on after battery ran dry? - HTC One M8
Have you tried to reset the charging logic of the device, first you must charge your M8 for a minimum of 10 minutes using a wall charger. With the power off, press down and hold the volume up and down button with the power button for approximately 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, release all of...
