I don't know if this is the place to put this, but it's interesting.

that battery was not in the phone. it was carried in the guy's pocket and shorted to catch fire.

How many cell phones are there in use right now? 1 billion or more? Even if there is one fire every single day, it should still be a non-event. That would be 1 over 1 billion incident a day.

How many Hobbyking RC LiCo users on this ES forum? 1,000? How many fires in 2012? Five? Let's say 5 or 0.014 a day for 1,000 users. Add 6 zeros to make 1 billion users and we end up 14,000 incidents a day.

Let's ban cell phone batteries.
