APPLE iPhone glows red, smokes on NSW flight
« on: November 29, 2011, 05:03:14 AM »
APPLE SUCKS - or did Jobs have a heavenly hand in this -

An iPhone began glowing bright red and emitted dense smoke as it self-combusted aboard a flight from Lismore to Sydney on Friday.

A flight attendant on the Regional Express (Rex) plane had to douse the iPhone 4 after the flight had landed, the airline said in a statement.

Nobody on board the flight was harmed but the mobile has been turned over to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau.

If that shit had happened to Big Ach the passengers would have stabbed the poor bastard to death with plastic forks.

When I read the title I briefly thought that the phone started smoking..like, lit a cigarette. Was thinking "wow, Jobs really was a genius".

From now on, all cell phones will need to be put on a separate container to go through security to be examined for any special plastic bomb materials.  Each phone will need to be turned on and checked by a competant TSA examiner to make sure it is really a phone, and not some sex toy.

Probably the lithium ion battery had a cell crack or whatnot and led to the meltdown.

Im surprised it didn't catch fire.

You said "competent TSA examiner" ~ that's an oxymoron. That's like asking for a competent Walmart greeter.

TSA could easily interchange their uniforms with Wally World employees... nobody would even notice as they take your toothpaste, aftershave, boots, hat and jacket.
