Comment lethal battery? I think not. (Score 1) 287
ok lets start here. "The man, identified only by his family name Suh, was found dead at his workplace in a quarry"
A quarry you say. Like where theres lots of heavy and dangerous earth moving equipment. Probably loose rocks as well.
And b) if you where to place a stick of dynamite on a table and detonate it. It would blow upwards not down. you would have to have something hard on top of it in order for it to exert enough force to push down through the table.
now apply that same principal to a cell battery.
and since when did cell phone battery's have enough material in them to create a lethal explosion? If there that lethal why don't more battery powered objects explode killing the operator?
the CIA should start looking into having agents use there cell phone battery's as IED's in emergences.
I think its more likely that he either fell from some where and the landing killed him and pressure from hitting the ground or object caused the phone "exploded" (I mean go Puff with a bit of electrical smoke.)
or he was killed my a person. Unlikely but possible.
