IBM ThinkPad Explodes at LAX

That's right, it wasn't a Dell, but rather an IBM ThinkPad battery that exploded at LAX airport. One more picture after the jump. Here's what happened:
According to an eyewitness report on the Awful Forums, passersby stared aghast or fled crying terrorist, the ThinkPad apparently had a number of death throes as the fire went through various phases, until eventually a United employee busted out the fire extinguisher and laid the laptop to rest

Where is the recall for these Thinkpad batteries? This looks like the same problem Dell and Apple had with the Sony batteries. http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/06/another-powerbook-violently-explodes/ I guess now we know were the other third of the batteries are. http://www.technologypundits.com/index.php?article_id=343

batteries explode, whether user fault or manufacturer. Dunno why people make a big fuss about it.

kayne001 It's obvious why people made such a big fuss, they made a big fuss becuase of all the recent terrorist attack on our nation. And also people paid for a product that they didn't think would put them in physical harm. It would be a diffrent story if they put a huge label on the cover of a laptop saying "WARNING MY EXPLODE IF YOU USE IT."
