A Samsung Galaxy Note 7 catches fire minutes before a plane takes off

southwest

This is the umpteenth incident caused by a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and this time it did it at the right time since if it caught fire a few minutes later it would have been much worse. In this case it is the Southwest Airlines airline and a flight that was about to take off from the Louisville airport in Kentucky. Apparently the plane with 75 passengers inside has begun to fill with smoke and one of them assured that it was his new Samsung Galaxy Note 7 recently renewed by the South Korean company.

The best of all is that the plane was on the ground and in the end everything has been in a scare by all passengers and crew, which has been resolved with the evacuation of the passenger without further incidents and without personal injury of any kind. This news adds to the recent news that refer to the Galaxy Note 7 terminals and their heating problems due to having a crossover at the anode and cathode of the batteries. The firm was quick to change all the devices sold and those shipped for new models supposedly without the problem, but it seems that this device was replaced as its owner indicates.

The media are echoing the news there are several but we leave you with this one that is more recent than usatoday in which the news is explained. Apparently the cabin was filled with smoke and all passengers and crew members exited the aircraft under their own power. At the moment the event is still being investigated by the authorities and we can already say that this device does not have a good future to confirm that the replaced models also have problems ...
