Given the terrorist bombs and other attacks at various sites around London and the rest of the UK, I defy anyone *not* to assume the worst when there is an explosion. Would you be able to react calmly and assess whether or not this explosion was a bomb, in the heat of the moment? |

Would you be able to react calmly and assess whether or not this explosion was a bomb, in the heat of the moment? I've been in a couple of serious car accidents over the years. I didn't panic then and I doubt I'd panic just because something was on fire in a station which has easy egress. That does mean I wouldn't hurry out but it does mean I wouldn't be pushing people over and trampling old people on the way which it seems is what happened to at least 1 old person there. |

They arrest anyone likely to be even slightly connected with such incidents as an @rse covering exercise, so that if they do decide to prosecute, a clever lawyer can't later say "If you didn't think he was innocent, why did you not arrest him immediately?" If it turns out he is innocent, then the arrest should be marked as a false arrest. -- Tciao for Now! John. |

Deliberate, but not as an act of terrorism, perhaps? For example taping up a safety cut-out on a tool. Possibly. I wouldn't be surprised if he'd done something stupid too it since batteries don't generally burst into flames and when the do its when they're being used. Unless they're in a Tesla. |

Lithium, presumably. Or Ni-Cad. Still in older tools and ISTR even some new ones. They used to occasionally blow up telephones around 30y ago so the larger ones in power tools should have a fair bit of oomph when they self-destruct. |

The ones that went viral and prompted a recall a while ago were in laptop computers made by a corporation named after a fruit that burst into flames while being charged. Then there were the others in various makes of Wintel computers which all used cells from the same factory... -- Tciao for Now! John. |

Unless they're in a Tesla. or a Nokia Or a Boeing Dreamliner (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boei...ttery_problems ) Apparently the "solution" to that was to put the battery in a stronger more fire resistent box. Doesn't exactly fill one with confidence, nor IMO does does the fact that most of the plane is composite when composite failures have caused a number of airbus rudders to fall off and composites can't be checked as easily as aluminium for fatique cracking. The 787s might be fine now but you'd have to be pretty brave to fly in one in 20 years time IMO. |
