REAL LIFE NEWS: SAMSUNG BATTERY FACTORY CATCHES FIRE
by Hazed
The factory which produces batteries for Samsung, and which is currently recycling the returned batteries for its fire-prone Galaxy Note 7 phones, has caught fire.
Defective hardware, including batteries, were stored in the recycling centre at the company’s facility if Wuqing, Tianjin, China. It was reported earlier this month that they went up in flames, resulting in 19 fire engines and over 110 firefighters showing up to deal with the conflagration.
Luckily, no people were injured in the blaze, although environmental protection workers were called in to monitor the air quality, since the plant is situated in a suburban area.
The rest of the factory was not affected.
This must be the very definition of irony!
