ThinkPad Explodes at LAX, Ignites Bomb Scare
09/16/2006
Los Angeles Airpirt, CA - In a time when you're not even allowed to say the word 'bomb' in an airport (and for a good reason), it's got to be really embarassing to have to run up to the jetway at full speed, shoving other passengers out of the way as your flaming laptop explodes on the ground. According to an eyewitness report on the Awful Forums, passersby stared aghast or fled crying terrorist as the ThinkPad fire went through various phases, until eventually a United employee busted out the fire extinguisher and laid the laptop to rest.
