Android 7 shipment to the landfill?
Bad enough that they are banned as cargo on commercial passenger aircraft, now trains. Still cannot figure out why Boeing stuck with Lithium batteries for the battery bus for their B-787 after multiple fires on-board.
Mother of all (suitcase) bombs....
Your iPhone on over-charged lithium batteries.
I understand that ammonium nitrate mixed with just the right proportion of fuel oil is pretty potent, too.

Well, it’s a sanctuary city, maybe the illegals can take care of it.
Wondering if it had anything to specifically help it blow up?
As consumers demand batteries with very high stored energy densities, such batteries, most with reactive metals, become like small containers of explosives which can be set off when the internal separation membrane between the cathode and anode fails. The resulting short will heat up the inside and ignite the flammable material in the battery. The heat generated by the 25-micron-thick membrane shorting out (or being shorted out by a puncture) will cause other batteries stored next to it to fail and ignite as well. In a pallet containing crates of such batteries, it becomes a chain reaction.
Even if the batteries are supposedly discharged, any that had sufficient charge and failed could heat up and ignite the materials inside other discharged batteries.
is lithium the new hydrogen?
Ping.
Should’a been using the Star Trek dilithium...it’s more stable.
Of course maybe those were for the new Tesla 3. So much for those delivery dates.
