In spite of himself, live has been in the news in recent days for a bad accident concerning thesmartphone explosion. Specifically, the crime happened inside one of the Hong Kong airports, where a pallet of live smartphones caught fire spontaneously and then expanded to others. According to the investigative results, the authorities have yet to give a firm answer on the reason for the fire. But the most likely (and plausible) theory is that one or more smartphones had an battery malfunction in the style of Samsung Galaxy Note 7. And from there then the fire spread to the whole batch of phones.
Live problems: a batch of Y20s caught fire at the airport The burning of live smartphones was immortalized by those present in a video from Hong Kong airport, around 5 am. In the clips we can see the fire already underway, fortunately occurred before their loading on board the plane. The situation would have proved much more problematic if the fire had started once in flight. Fortunately, there was no harm to people.

The extent of the damage has not yet been determined, but there are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of vivo smartphones (all Y20s, apparently) destroyed. Not to mention that the fire-fighting operations may have damaged even those smartphones initially not subject to flames.
THIS IS WHAT THE PALLET WAS SUPPOSEDLY CARRYING, VIVO SMARTPHONES. MOST PROBABLY A LITHIUM BATTERY ISSUE SIMILAR TO THAT SAMSUNG NOTE PROBLEM FROM SOMETIME AGO. LITHIUM BATTERIES ARE A "DANGEROUS GOOD" CAPABLE OF IGNITING SPONTANEOUSLY UNDER HEAT OR PHYSICAL DAMAGE. PIC.TWITTER.COM/KTXTWJDE3W

In addition to the material damage, the live problems do not end there. Until the cause of the fire is safely certified, Hong Kong Air Cargo authorities they will prevent live export of any smartphone. This could slow down shipments to other parts of the world, although it is not known whether Italy will be affected.
