Hello,

This look important so I thought I`d better
forward it on,
One more fear to add to our list, thanks to the
internet!!!!   
  This was checked out and yes, it did happen!!
Please read!

This was also on Pittsburgh's WTAE channel 4 News.
     Never, ever answer a cell phone while it is
being CHARGED!!

A few days ago, a person was recharging his cell
phone at home. Just at that time a call came and he
answered it with the instrument still connected to
the outlet.     After a few seconds electricity
flowed into the cell phone unrestrained and the
young man was thrown to the ground with a heavy
thud.  His parents rushed to the room only to find
him unconscious, with a weak heartbeat and burnt
fingers.
He was rushed to the nearby hospital, but was
pronounced dead on arrival.
 
Cell phones are a very useful modern invention.
    However, we must be aware that it can also be an
instrument of death.
             Never use the cell phone while it is
hooked to the electrical outlet!

I use my mobile all the time when it's charging and I'm still alive
