Cell phones are dangerous after all
I’m not particularly troubled by my occasional cell phone use. I know some people are really concerned that the electromagnetic radiation of cell phones are doing damage to their body, but I’m not one of them. I felt pretty comfortable with my cell phone use until I read this FoxNews.com story.
A man has died after his cell phone exploded, severing a major artery in his neck, according to reports.
The man, thought to be a shop assistant in his twenties at a computer shop in Guangzhou, southern China, died after he put a new battery in his phone. It was believed that he may have just finished charging the battery and had put the phone in his breast pocket when it exploded.
According to the local Chinese daily Shin Min Daily News, the accident happened on Jan. 30 at 7:30 p.m. local time.
An employee at the shop told Chinese media that she heard a loud bang and saw her colleague lying on the floor of the shop in a pool of blood. The employee said the victim had recently changed the battery in his mobile phone.
Chinese authorities have yet to determine the make and model of the phone and its battery.
Please tell me it wasn’t an iPhone. Actually, even if it was, I’ll take my chances.
