Exploding Motorola cellphone kills a man in China

[Mr. Samos]

That’s right, an exploding cell phone has been blamed for the death of Chinese welder Xiao Jinpeng, working at Yingpan Iron Ore Dressing Plant in Gansu’s Jinta county. In what we suspect is the first case of an exploding gadget actually killing a man, the battery in Xiao’s Motorola cell phone exploded while in his shirt pocket. The explosion was linked to high-temperatures in the plant, according to colleagues - that must have been some crazy-hot work environment.

Motorola Beijing is brushing off any responsibility and even suggesting that Xiao was using a Motorola fake. Way to lay down the damage control, Motorola. Denial and non-responsibility always works best, just as the White House.

That's classic. China is known for it's BOOTLEGGED shit, so who knows. But I doubt it. I think the main keyword here is WELDER.

Lol like the possibility of a flake of molten metal flying into his shirt pocket and heating the battery beyond tolerable temperatures is totally out of the question....

well he was a welder and he did have it in his shirt pocket, so it is possible a spark hit it and melt through it.
