The New Replaced Note 7 Caught Fire On The South West Plane!

Hey, What's going on guys, My name is AKASH and today I'm back with another quick post, this time, covering a hot...No, a Firing news about the new Replaced Note 7. So without any further talks let's jump into the news!

Smoke Comming Out Of My Note 7!

This Incident happened recently and thanks to some sources I was able to get a clear picture what happened so. So here's what happened at the south-west Airline Flight 994 from Louisville to Baltimore.

In the middle of boarding passengers in flight One of the passenger's namely "Green", Note 7 caught fire! Yup and He clearly stated that It was the newly replaced version of the phone that Samsung advertised as "Safe" He also said that he bought it from the AT&T Store recently.

Phone Made The Plane Evacuated.

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. Well, that's a relief.

More worrisome is the fact that 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.

Mr Green's Statement

Green said that he had powered down the phone as requested by the flight crew and put it in his pocket when it began smoking. He dropped it on the floor of the plane and a "thick grey-green angry smoke" was pouring out of the device. Green’s colleague went back onto the plane to retrieve some personal belongings and said that the phone had burned through the carpet and scorched the subfloor of the plane.

He said the phone was at around 80 percent of battery capacity when the incident occurred and that he only used a wireless charger since receiving the device.

Green’s Note 7 is in the hands of the Louisville Fire Department’s arson unit for investigation and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission is opening an investigation into the incident.

He has already replaced it with an iPhone 7.

Crysis For Samsung!

Running the phone's IMEI (blurred for privacy reasons) through Samsung's recall eligibility checker returns a "Great News!" message saying that Green's Galaxy Note 7 is not affected by the recall.

Samsung is likely in full-fledged crisis mode at this point, as a replacement phone catching fire would be truly disastrous for the company's image and finances. The Verge has been in contact with Samsung, which issued a statement that is questionable at best given our findings:

Samsung's Statement

Until we are able to retrieve the device, we cannot confirm that this incident involves the new Note7. We are working with the authorities and Southwest now to recover the device and confirm the cause. Once we have examined the device we will have more information to share.

And That's IT!
