Replacement Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phone catches fire on Southwest plane

Southwest Airlines flight 994 from Louisville to Baltimore was evacuated this morning while still at the gate because of a smoking Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphone. All passengers and crew exited the plane via the main cabin door and no injuries were reported, a Southwest Airlines spokesperson told The Verge.
More worryingly, the phone in question was a replacement Galaxy Note 7, one that was deemed to be safe by Samsung. The Verge spoke to Brian Green, owner of the Note 7, on the phone earlier today and he confirmed that he had picked up the new phone at an AT&T store on September 21st. A photograph of the box shows the black square symbol that indicates a replacement Note 7 and Green said it had a green battery icon.

Yeah flew recently and they specifically said if you had a Note 7 it had to be turned off completely and could not be turned back on until off plane

North Korea has declared war. They've started by sabotaging phones made in their prison factories.

Of course an Android poor would be flying Southwest.

Would not have happened if that person would have just gotten an iPhone instead.
