Cell Phones And Gas Station Explosions, A Myth? by Feraz(m): 3:49pm On Jan 07, 2019 |
“Oga, will you hang up on that call you currently are on? Can’t you see we are in a gas station”? she said angrily. The young man ignored her and continued talking to the person on the other end of the phone. “Bros, you no hear wetin she talk? Abi you wan kill all of us for this station?” some passengers retorted. “No mind am. Im no know say you no suppose dey use phone for where you dey buy fuel” The above conversation happened in a bus I was a passenger in while heading to a certain destination. It got me thinking, is this really a myth? Cell phones causing explosion in gas stations? I looked it up just to refresh my memory on what I initially read and couldn’t find a story to lay credence to the above myth. Maybe you could share your experiences. For this article, we're going to work from the assumption that you don't want to cause an explosion and fire at a gas station, sending the whole structure and all of its patrons up in a cloud of smoke, lottery tickets, windshield-washer fluid and Funyuns. So, if you don't want to cause an explosion or start a fire at a gas station, you should keep your trusty cell phone holstered, right? https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/fuelish-pleasures/ https://www.quora.com/Why-are-mobile-phones-not-allowed-in-petrol-pumps CC: Johnydon22, Blakjewelry |

Making use of cellphone using radiowaves might cause explosion though. |
