Exploding Cell Phones
Last week, a young farmer was killed in India when his cell phone exploded. The newspaper reports said the Nokia phone “exploded while he was talking to someone for a long time,” possibly in the rain.
As strange as it sounds, cell phones have been known to explode–some reports say about one hundred people are injured each year, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. While hoaxes abound (yes, it’s okay to answer your phone while it’s charging), do be careful if the battery pack gets extremely hot. Time to power down and walk away.

The laptop stampede is the funniest and the kid in the washing machine is the most horrific

I know bad things happen in this world, but you spoiled my lunch with some of these. Tragic.

No surprises there. An apple product could transform into Megatron and enslave humanity, and they would still claim it was "user error".

If they had just bowed to the Megatron, he wouldn't have had to kill them
Shouldn't it be "Narrowly missed his head"? Nearly missed implies that it still hit, but just barley.
OKAY!
Now it ALL MAKES SENSE!
In Star Trek, people get hurt and killed by exploding panels - and I thought it was dramatic stupidity. But as shown, computers and cell phones can in FACT, explode... causing injuries, without being hit by Klingon phasers!
Wow, Star Trek has it right again.
fondue is swiss
God, according to this, using cell phones is like playing Russian-roulette!
Exloding Laptops and cellphone is understandable, Bus Most others are Human errors or Lack of proper understanding and Commonsense.
The GPS follower landing up in river was sure was joke of the day. Only a woman can do that!
