It's WCCF so one story says "catches fire" and another says "Blow up".

Replacement Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Catches Fire And Causes Evacuation During Southwest Airliner Boarding; Major Harm Avoided
Luckily no one was injured and everyone evacuated safety, although none of the passengers have claimed the phone, possibly due to a cultural mis-understanding.
At first glance the undulations of the ground make it look like the aircraft lost its nose wheel. Now that really would be some phone battery fire...
I read another one yesterday in the lounge that the guy was named and he described the event.
He got it the day the new ones came along so it might have still been the old one. The other thing is no one reports on the life the phone led, was he using one of those unsafe scary chargers that is not fit for anything or was he using the official charger?
By way of @kewldude007 time stampeded
WCCF is like "The Onion" of Tech
This article seems to be a little more detailed. By all the indicators I've seen, this is a legit replacement but still waiting on confirmation from Samsung. I'm just glad the flight wasn't in the air - this could have been A LOT worse.
Okay. Wow that is... Do samsung not test their phones before shiping?
I don't know how to do Memes but these pictures are in dire need of someone who does.
I've heard this is more a result of shorting development times in concurrent engineering, the demand is so high along with competition, so they will do anything to get these devices out, even if that means cutting corners.
I've read previously this type of issue is associated with overheating, but I don't know much to understand why they might pop. Seems like tech will do anything to get their products out, reminds me of automakers, lol.
now they will use galaxy note 7's to do terror attacks.
watch
dont buy a shit charger..
common sense

when i said your mixtape would have your phone "blowing up", this is not what i meant, fam. boundaries.
I asked this. The phibe in question was only ever wirelessly charged. So points to internal fault in the phone.
