Exploding Cell Phones

I read a news story the other day about a man in South Korea was killed by an exploding cell phone in his shirt pocket. The cell phone had signs of melting. Fears of battery problems that had earlier plagued laptops now seemed to be realized in cell phones. Now your cell phone could be a ticking time bomb!

or . . .maybe not . . .

A follow-up article by the Associate Press reports the real culprit. A co-worker accidentally ran over the man while backing up a drilling vehicle. He moved the vehicle to throw off the police. The exploding cell phone story was made up.
