A 13-year old girl from Kennebunk, Maine, received 2nd degree burns
after a loud pop in her pocket turned into a burning, smoke billowing
bomb inside her trousers, which was actually her iPhone 5c. Luckily,
the girl had enough wits to stop, drop and roll to put out the fire. Her
girlfriends asked the boys to turn around as she ditched the pants.
The teacher then brought out a blanket to put out the fire. The burns
are minor, but any of us could be in a situation a lot worse, with fewer
chances of coming out unharmed had the phone exploded under her
pillow while she was asleep, there would have been a possibility of
some serious brain damage. the girl came back to school the same
day even though the doctors suggested she should rest.
